Resident of the Month
Suzanne Inomata
Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains Proudly Presents Suzanne Inomata as our April Resident of the Month.
Suzanne joined Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains a few weeks ago and immediately established herself as a kind and thoughtful member of our community. She grew up in Richardson, Texas with two brothers and a father who had a PhD in Chemistry and a mother with a degree in Biology. When she was a young girl the family moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee where her father worked on the Manhattan Project. They eventually moved back to Richardson, Texas where Suzanne was in the marching band in high school playing the clarinet. She went to college in Memphis, Tennessee. She met her husband, Yoshio when he was singing and playing the banjo in a traveling band while recruiting for a college in Memphis. They married after college.
They initially lived in St. Louis and then moved to Pennsylvania. In Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania she raised two boys. She worked as a Park Ranger for the National Park Service at the Visitor Center in the Delaware Water Gap National Park. When her son, Tomio left for college, they moved to Tokyo, Japan near her husband’s family where they lived for nearly two years. They returned to the US and settled in Princeton Junction, New Jersey but after a retreat to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, they decided to move there to make it their retirement home. Suzanne lived there for 35 years before moving to Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains. We are so happy that Suzanne has made our community her home. One of Suzanne’s many joys and talents is that she became a Master Gardner in Massachusetts, and we are looking forward to her helping us with our courtyard gardens at Sandy Plains.
