Sue Ann Carazo

Colorado Springs, CO

Sue Ann Carlstrom Carazo, 81, of Colorado Springs passed away on Saturday September 28th at 5:40 AM while in hospice care.

Born on Feb. 26th, 1938 to Leonard G. Carlstrom and Anna M. Norton at St Joseph’s Mercy Hospital in Ann Arbor, MI

Sue is survived by 4 children: Christy, Judith, Fredrick, and Patricia.

Sue married Fredrick Carazo in 1959 and moved many times across the U.S. and traveled the world as an Air Force spouse before settling in Colorado Springs in 1976.  Sue stayed busy raising 4 children involved in multiple sports, school activities, and various civic interests, while she pursued and earned a Bachelor of Science degree (Summa cum laude) in Political Science from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs (UCCS).

Anyone who knows Sue knows that her greatest love and proudest accomplishment was experiencing and participating in the lives of her 8 grandchildren: Jennifer, Dustin, Erin, Tanner, Alexander, Amelia, Matthew, Mara, and 6 great grandchildren: Taylor, Madison, Elijah, Saylor, Everly, and Jalen.

Her quick wit, sense of humor, and wisdom will be sorely missed.

As the family wishes, cremation will be accorded and no public funeral services will be held. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice, your local no-kill animal shelter, or the Springs Rescue Mission of Colorado Springs, Colorado.
