Remembering Suzanne Hill
Suzanne Hill (74) of Barnstable and Hanson passed away on July 9th after a brief illness. She graduated with the class of 1963 from Whitman-Hanson High School and from Westbrook Junior College.
She worked as a dental hygienist and was a spiritual teacher and healer, Reiki master/teacher, MariEL teacher and healer and co-founder of the Haven for Healing Foundation Inc. Suzanne was known for her work at the Whitman Wellness Center and will be missed.
In Suzanne's words, "My heartfelt desire and eternally precious hope for having walked this Earth is to leave with friends and family, clients, students and especially my sons, the knowledge that God is love, love is freedom and freedom is peace of mind and spirit."
