St. Petersburg, Florida - Suzanne O'Connell Finney Mathews, 41, of St. Petersburg, FL passed away on Thursday, March 14, 2024. Suzanne adored her family, especially her three beautiful children that she loved dearly. She had a great appreciation for the arts and music and was gifted at playing the violin.
