Suzanne Orlando Chudomelka, Sue to her beloved husband, Mom to her children, Mamaw to her grandchildren, Aunt Suzie to family, Suzie to her friends and Momma or Momma C to her honorary children.
Suzie was the most committed wife and mother. She was truly grateful for her family, and nothing brought her more joy. She believed in making all occasions "special" and was known for her family get-togethers, homecooked meals and baked goods. Her attitude of consistent gratefulness was felt by all who knew her. While her children were young, she could always be found volunteering; from Girl Scouts, Athletic Boosters and Little League to Band Booster Club, she was a coveted leader and dedicated to organizing, fundraising, and expanding options for children. Suzie was a child of God and attended Prince of Peace Catholic Church, and Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church for many years, was baptized at Holy Name Catholic Church in Houston and married at Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Tomball, Texas.
Suzie fought and finished her battle here on earth and moved into the arms of Jesus on August 23, 2021, at the age of 72. She was born on August 4, 1949, to Mary Louise and Paul Edward Orlando in Houston, Texas, both who preceded her in death. Suzie was also preceded in death by her Great Grandparents, Vincent Joseph Benardino and wife Lena Estelle, Michael Angelo Orlando and wife Marie Suzanne Mallo, sister Lynn (Lena) Rejcek, and her niece, Channa Garcia.
She is survived by her husband of nearly 30 years, John (TJ), her son, Diamond (Dee) Croussaris, and her daughter, Kristen Amendt and husband, Danny, of Magnolia Texas and son Paul Edward Orlando. Grandchildren Savanah and Clinton John (CJ) Smith, Jordan and Christian Amendt and Montgomery Rose Orlando. Siblings include Carl Orlando, wife Virginia, Paulette Ogle, husband Steve, Vincent Joseph Orlando, Michael Angelo Orlando, wife Jerri, Brother-in-Law, John Rejcek; nieces and nephews; Larry Rejcek, Carrie Rejcek, Deanda Orlando, Nichole Capers, Keith Manlove, Paul William Orlando, Billie Rejcek, Sami Hale, Carl Jr Orlando, Garrett Orlando and Taryn Orlando; several great nieces and nephews, numerous other family and friends.
