Suzanne attended High School with her sister Mary Lou at the Maddox International Academy in Mexico City, Mexico. She obtained her Bachelor and Master Degrees from U.C.L.A. with a major in Spanish. She married Johnny Benefield from Jefferson on May 19, 1956. Johnny worked for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation as an Aeronautical Engineer in Huntsville, Alabama where they raised their three sons.

Suzanne served as the President of the Historical Society in Jefferson and owned one of the first bed and breakfasts in Jefferson, the William Clark House. Suzanne's greatest joy besides her family was her relationship with God through her Lord Jesus Christ. Until her final moments on this earth, she told of how Jesus Christ was her Savior and blessed countless lives through her selfless life in imitation of her Lord. Suzanne was an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother and faithful witness of God's grace in Jesus. Along with her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by her sister Mary Lou Glass.
