Susan (Suzzie) M. Bresley, 71, died on January 9, 2021 at Saluda Nursing Facility. Suzzie was born in San Diego, CA on October 2, 1949. She later moved to Idaho for college and met her husband of 49 years, Mick Bresley. They shared many adventures and created lasting memories that are treasured by her family. In addition to her husband, Mick, she is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Jeremy and Shannon Bresley, their five children Lauren, Sarah, Anna, Joseph and Nora; daughter and son-in-law, Tara and Ned Purcell and their two children Jensen and Fin, and many loving siblings, in-laws, nieces and nephews. Throughout her career in childcare, she has impacted the lives of over one hundred children, in addition to her own. Suzzie loved each child for their individuality and spirit.
