Obituary for Suzi Barr Loss

I did not know that Suzanne Barr Loss’ first name was Claire until I read her obituary on the Domico Funeral Home web site.

Suzi Barr Loss

I’m forced to troll the Marion County funeral homes daily because the Fairmont Times refuses to make their obituaries free without a subscription even though the obits are NOT the Times’ intellectual property, but are paid classifieds owned by the family of the deceased.

Suzi’s (I just can’t write Claire’s because no one would know who I mean) obituary :
