Suzanne Younger Christy

Christy, Suzanne Younger Dallas, TX- born in Dallas to Dr. and Mrs. Harold B. Younger, March 6, 1939, died June 24, 2010. She grew up in the Park Cities and graduated from Highland Park High School in 1956. Hers was a life of beauty, music, love and faith, scarred by periods of illness and tragedy. None of these sad times, however, diminished her joy of life or commitment to the Lord. Suzy began piano lessons at age 5, studying with teacher, Elizabeth Griffis. At age 12, she played for the famous Liberace, who was so impressed with her talent that he expressed an interest in mentoring her. A natural ability and remarkable memory enabled her to learn complicated classical compositions and play without sheet music. Piano helped support her family when she was a very young mother. She worked as a music teacher for Bette Hoffman School, and played dinner and cocktail hour music at Brook Hollow Country Club. She played privately for large and small social gatherings. In 1968, Suzy and Emily Hartnett formed a duo piano team, and played for the Ballet; with the Irving and Eastfield Symphony Orchestras, and for civic groups, local, and in other states. They left audiences awe-struck with their beauty and artistry. In the early 70s, she obtained a realtor's license, and quickly earned her company's Top Producer award. She worked for Obio and Adleta, Murray Real Estate and the Henry S. Miller Realty Co., setting records every year. These successes were less important to her, however, than her role of mother to her three children, Lisa, Rosalie and Benjamin, or her relationships with scores of friends who feel blessed to have had her in their lives. She was unmatched for generously giving her love to others. Toward the end of her life, Suzy was bed fast, and spent hours reading everything from Tolstoy to Grisham, and of course, her Bible, which she read faithfully. She became a great lover of nature, watching the evolving panorama just outside her bedroom window, which included ever-changing trees and flowers, ducks, squirrels and birds. She found great contentment in their beauty. Suzy battled major illnesses and suffered the loss of many she loved, including two of her children, Lisa, who died in 2001 at age 45, and Benjamin who died in 2010, at age 40. Other great losses were her mother and father; her precious "Aunt Bea" Easley, her life-long mother figure; best friends, Rose Moore, Medora White and Dixie Coffman; and husband Chester Christy. Survivors include her dearly beloved daughter, Rosie and husband, Henry Emerson, and their sons, Taylor Emerson, all of Colorado, and son Jacob Younger Dr. Rossett and his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Don De Rossett, of Mabank, Texas; and granddaughters Makenzye Suzanne Pinnell and Jaklynn Morgan Pinnell, Denton; also, daughter-in-law, Regina Pinnell, Denton. A memorial services will be held Monday, June 28, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. in the chapel at Sparkman Hillcrest. Shortly before her death, Suzy said, "In my life of music there have been times when I could hear a melody in my head, and then, later, just side down and play it". Shakespeare wrote, "If music be the food of love play on!" Play on and on, sweet Suzy.
