Suzanne "Suzi" M. Frits-Schreiner

November 29, 1957 - August 28, 2019

Suzanne Marie Frits-Schreiner, age 61, passed away peacefully in her home in Bradley, Il on Wednesday, August 28, 2019. She was the wonderful and unconditional loving wife of James Schreiner, the cherished and giving mother to Lillian Schreiner and Merle Nicks III, dear sister to Jeannie Yacker and Barbara Jo Beyer, and grandmother to Harper Nicks. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert and Mary Jo Frits. A longtime resident of Peotone before moving to Bradley, Suzi was an avid game player. She loved to play board games and absolutely loved watching all the old game shows on television. She was highly competitive as her husband recalls winning only a handful of times when they played backgammon, possibly saving their marriage. Suzi was a former employee of the Elisabeth Ludeman Center in Park Forest and often talked fondly of her time spent working with children with special needs. Her last job was as a cafeteria worker at Bradley-Bourbonnais High School; she was known by the kids for her sharp wit and her humor as her daughter recalls her friends often referring to Suzanne as someone who “brought a lot of joy to the room.” There will be an upcoming family gathering to celebrate her life and, in lieu of flowers or gifts, the family humbly requests considering a small donation to Hospice of Kankakee Valley in her name. Please send donations to Hospice of Kankakee Valley 482 Main St NW Bourbonnais, IL 60914. Cremation rites will be accorded. Jensen Funeral Home is handling the arrangements. Please sign Suzi’s online guestbook.
