About

My Concrete Dove exists to Encourage and Empower Family Caregivers (Past, Present, and Future)

Join us for a regular dose of encouragement, a few laughs, and a heartfelt connection.

Suzette has been married for over 30 years to a terrific guy. She is a proud mom to four grown children, Grandma Suzie to six, and fusses over one fun-loving Yorkipoo named Pepper. 

Suzette shares caregiving for her mom, Sylvia, a nonagenarian who still lives pretty much on her own. In 2018 she became the full-time caregiver of her sister, Michelle, who had Down Syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease.

Jesus was always important to Suzette, but around 2004 Suzette accepted Christ in a whole new way, one that continually grows her faith and renews her soul.

She is a member of her local church and served in Children’s Church, Sisters Ministry, and Small Group Bible Study. She also served as a group facilitator in Healing Hearts International Ministry for four years; an organization whose mission is ministering to the brokenhearted.

When she can find some spare time Suzette enjoys writing, listening to music, long walks (but dreads the treadmill), reading, watercolor painting, Bible study, cooking, and would love to add traveling to this list!
