Suzanne Lonergan-Fries

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Suzanne Lonergan-Fries, 67, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend who touched the lives of so many.

Sue passed away peacefully on April 23, 2025 at home in Ouray, CO with her loving family at her side.

Born in North Syracuse, Suzanne was the daughter of Dr. Francis and Mrs. Genevieve Lonergan, the youngest of five siblings. She graduated from North Syracuse High School, achieving awards for artistic excellence.

Sue is survived by her loving husband, Mark Fries; her sons, Eric (Jami) and Ethan (Konnie); grandchildren, Liam, Nathan, and Phoenix, Anthony, Vie, Mark and Ava; sisters and sister-in-law, Patricia Nicholson, Christine Nazario and Patricia Lonergan; nephews and nieces and their spouses, Luke, Paul, and George Lonergan, Bryan Nicholson, Joseph Stahlecker, Anne Nicholson and Sarah Letos; along with aunts, uncle, cousins and friends.

She was predeceased by her brothers, Thomas and Lawrence Lonergan; and brothers-in-law, Donald Nicholson and Jose Nazario.

Sue’s life was defined by her resilience and determination. She was known for her creativity, humor and the deep love she had for her family and friends. Sue could fix anything. Her flowers and vegetables were amazing. Her garden was a showplace where she found peace amid the beauty of nature.

Family and friends will gather together on October 18th at the home of Eric and Jami in Mead, CO to celebrate Sue’s life and share memories and love. She will remain in our hearts forever.
