Suzanne Hughes Bacon gracefully entered the arms of her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at Baptist Health Hospital in Paducah. She was born in Paducah, Kentucky, on August 8, 1934, to the late Frank B. Hughes and the late Rosa Lee Harrison Hughes. At the time of her passing, she had acquired 91 years, 7 months and 17 days of life well lived.

Suzanne, a soft-spoken woman who never raised her voice, had a personality that encouraged everyone she knew. Her steadfast goal was to be a good example, never saying a bad word about anyone. She lovingly raised six children with the admonition to always be a blessing to someone because it’s not always about receiving.

She loved the Lord and was a faithful member of Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Paducah. where she served on the Mothers Board, the Missionary Society, Sunday School and was a former choir member. After retiring from Western Baptist Hospital as a Certified Nursing Assistant, she volunteered at Paducah Cooperative Ministries.

In her spare time, she loved going to flea markets, yard sales, and listening to gospel music.

Waiting to greet her at heaven’s gate were her husband, Harold G. Bacon, a daughter, Barbara Patton, two sons, Terry Roach and Girard Roach, two grandsons, Beri A. McDonald and Gary Lynn McDonald, and her parents.
