Suzie passed away on Sunday evening in the ICU Unit of Maui Memorial Medical Center.

In 1977, Suzie came to Maui to die. She had been diagnosed with Terminal Cancer of the Kidneys so she opened an Atlas, closed her eyes and pointed. Fate led her to Maui.

The whole story is on the website of The Boo Boo Zoo, but alternative medicine and her love of nurturing animals gave her over 40 years of unexpected life. With her husband, Sylvan, they dedicated those years to establishing the life-saving work of the East Maui Animal Refuge.

Suzie is survived by her loving & devoted husband, Sylvan J. Schwab; parents, Al & Jo Hawck; brother, Robert Hawck; and her children=hundreds of animals.

Visitation will be held from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at Ballard Family Mortuary in Kahului with service to begin at 1 p.m. and burial to follow at 2 p.m. at Valley Isle Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made in her memory to the East Maui Animal Refuge: 25 Maluaina Place, Haiku, HI 96708 Phone: 808-572-8308 www.eastmauianimalrefuge.org
