of Bull Shoals, AR
October 8, 1976 - April 21, 2025
Mrs. Susanne Due, age 48, of Bull Shoals, Arkansas, left this world far too soon on Monday, April 21, 2025. Her passing will be deeply felt by all who had the blessing of knowing her.
Born on October 8, 1976, in Wauchula, Florida, Susanne was the cherished daughter of Rex and Katheline (Thompson) Staton. Though she was born a Florida girl, she found her heart and home in the hills of Arkansas, where her laughter and kindness echoed through every room she entered.
For over 17 years, Susanne was a familiar face and a comforting presence at Connie's Cafe'. With a sweet drawl and a smile that could brighten the darkest day, she served more than just coffee, she served kindness, compassion, and conversation. Folks didn't just come for the biscuits, they came for Susanne.
When she wasn't caring for others, Susanne found peace in life's simple pleasures. She had a gift for sewing, a sharp aim in the woods during hunting season, and a deep love for nature, especially the riverbanks where she'd lose herself in a good book. But her favorite moments were spent with the ones who called her grandma, Her grandbabies, Angel, Robby, and Kayleighann, were her pride and joy, and she filled their lives with warmth, wonder, and unconditional love.
She is survived by her loving children: her son Blake Due (Kaitlyn) and daughter Taylor Due (Adam); her three precious grandchildren; her devoted father Rex Staton; her brother Scott Staton; sister Angie Staton; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who were all touched by her genuine spirit and boundless heart.
Susanne was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Katheline, and now, we take comfort in knowing they are together again, two sweet souls watching over their family from Heaven's front porch.
Though her time with us was cut short, the love Susanne poured into this world lives on in every story, every laugh, and every memory we hold close. She was a light in this world, and it won't be the same without her.
A visitation will be on Friday, May 9, 2025, from 1:00-2:00pm at Roller Funeral Home. A funeral service will follow at 2:00pm at Roller Funeral Home with Pastor Greg Coolidge officiating.
My deepest condolences goes out to you and your brother I will keep the whole family in my prayers
We always looked forward to breakfast at Connie's and surprising you when we came into town. You were very important to the heartbeat of Bull Shoals as demonstrated in all the love expressed. We will miss you always. Prayers for strength and peace for the family, Dan, and close friends.
Blake and Taylor, may God be with you during this difficult time and all the days ahead. Your Mom was a sweet, beautiful, kind and loving person! We are so very sorry for this loss.
My deepest condolences goes to the family. When I moved here She was the very first person who greeted us in to town. She always had a bubbly attitude when she seen us. She made me feel like i was part of the family.

Sincere condolences to the family for your loss. Each of you will be in my thoughts and prayers for peace and comfort during this tough time.
This is the 3rd time we have camped at Bull Shoals State Park and the 2nd time we have eaten breakfast at Connie's. I wasn't aware of this terrible tragedy when we were there this morning. I remember your mom from our visit last year and her friendly personality. I didn't realize you were her daughter when you waited on us so I wanted to express our sympathy for your loss even though we are strangers! May God comfort you and bring you peace as we are all passing through this life and our real hope is in Jesus and the eternal life we will have by placing our faith in Him. May God bless you in the coming days ahead as you prepare to celebrate the life of your mom.
Suzanne you truly where the heart of Bull Shoals with your kind heart and beaming smile we all here in Bull Shoals grew to love and find comfort in seeing.
You will be greatly missed and you will never EVER be forgotten!

At least 2 to 3 times every year I can't remember how many years ago that we went into connie's for breakfast and we met Susañne She was so funny in a Sarcastic way, we kept coming back to Connie's even if we had to driveway out-of-the-way just to have Susañne wait on us She can make us laugh not even trying to she was such a wonderful sweet person. She will be missed Not just for a couple of months or a couple years even I don't know if I can go back in Connie's and eat knowing that she's not there to take our orders she was worth the 350 miles and more drive we made… just to see her smile and Banner with us, the laughter and smile that
,she projected made myself and the other men with me feel like she was family,
like a little sister"….. Rest in peace, little sister we love you dearly and miss you,,,

I can't remember a time when Susanne wasn't at Connie's to great me (us) and give her morning ration of sarcasm.
I have no words that will adequately express her loss.., things won't be the same without her. RIP my dear friend.
My condolences to the family. I only knew your mother for a short time, while I cared for Kenneth Chaney during his time of transitioning to meet the Lord. Susanne you were a pleasant and stand up individual to be around. May you rest in peace. Tell Kenneth I send my love.

We spent the last 6 years eating breakfast at Connies and Suanne aways welcomed us in and at times, sat and talked to us about her life and mostly about the last deer she got. She quickly became part of our family as she became family with everyone who ate at Connies. her sarcasm with a few of her customers always made me laugh. we were so sorry and numb to hear of her passing. we will forever remember all the good times she shared with us and will be missed greatly. I Pray god watches over Blake and Taylor as they navigate through this difficult time.
My heart goes out to the family. Suzanne was full of laughs and always had your back. We made memories that I will never forget. She so dearly loved her family it showed. I know she got a big hug from her momma! Sending prayers!
She was the first person to welcome us to Bull Shoals and made us feel at home here. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.
We will definitely miss your smiling face & contagious laugh! Am so glad we had a chance to visit recently. May you & your family rest in God's peace.
I am truly sorry to the family and friends. I haven't seen her since high school , but she was a great person. May God help you through...
Suzanne, you were always a great friend to us and everyone you met. We are going to be so missed by so many. I promise to keep the kids in our thoughts and prayers and help however we can.
Love you always,
