Suzanne Vette

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Suzanne Carter Vette, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, registered nurse, and cherished member of the Oshkosh community. She was born on March 3, 1940, in Davenport, FL, to the late Marvin and Cleo (Jones) Carter. Suzanne's journey on this earth came to a peaceful close on October 16, 2024, in Oshkosh, WI.

Suzanne's life was marked by dedication and service. She graduated from Davenport High School in 1958 before pursuing her passion for nursing at Gordan Keller Nursing School in Tampa, FL. It was during this time that she met her beloved husband, John Robert Vette, whom she married in 1962 in Davenport. After moving to Wisconsin in 1963, Suzanne and John welcomed two children into their lives, Jane in December of 1963, and John "Brad" in 1965.

Suzanne's professional life as a registered nurse at Mercy Hospital was defined by compassion, skill, and tireless dedication to her patients. Beyond her work, she found solace and joy in staying active through playing tennis and golf, entertaining guests at home, and engaging in various community organizations such as the Service League of Oshkosh, Oshkosh Yacht Club, and the Leisure Hour Art Club. Her unwavering support of the Boys and Girls Clubs reflected her commitment to nurturing the potential of young minds and hearts.

Suzanne is lovingly survived by her daughter, Jane (Jean-Pierre Ghazal) Vette; her son Brad (Laura) Vette; grandchildren, Morgan and Kendal Vette.

In addition to her parents, Suzanne is preceded in death by her husband John Robert Vette; brothers, Doug (Deborah) and Charlie (Sherry) Carter.

A celebration of life will take place at The Waters (1393 Washington Ave) on Monday, November 4, 2024 from 4PM until 7PM; with a Champagne Toast at 5:30PM.

In honor of Suzanne's memory, her family kindly asks that any memorials be directed to the Boys and Girls Club.

Suzanne's family would like to thank the staff at Aspire of Oshkosh for their compassionate care they gave to her during her time with them there.

May her legacy of love, service, and kindness continue to inspire all those whose lives she touched. Rest in peace, Suzanne.
