She was born in Anderson, Indiana to Pauline (Ellis) Driffill and Hubert Lloyd Driffill.  She graduated from Anderson High School in 1954, and from Ball State University School of Nursing in 1958.  She was a dedicated nurse, laying her healing hands on countless patients in her 40-year career.  She worked alongside her husband, Dr. Robert Drennen, in their family practice, also working in extended care facilities and hospitals in the area over the years. She did this all while maintaining a lovely home and providing a supportive loving environment for her family.  She was a talented cook, preparing countless meals for family gatherings.  She loved reading, playing cards, gardening, bird watching, sewing, and knitting.  She made many garments and knitted many blankets for family and friends.  Suzanne’s greatest joy was time with her family.  She was a devoted matriarch and brought light and love to all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
