Suzanne M.
Denvir, 32, of Hinsdale, passed away on July 4, 2010.

dedicated, dynamic and respected educator, who passionately
taught history at DuSable High School.

University and a master’s degree in teaching from The

at the DuSable Leadership Academy.
She is survived by her parents, Bob and Ann; sister and best friend
