Born on January 14, 1946, in Charleston, SC, she was the daughter of (the late) Henrietta Greenhill (Larson) and Henry Greenhill.

Suzette graduated from Rivers and Murray Vocational School in 1964 and accepted a job as a bookkeeper after graduation. She later became a homemaker upon the arrival of her daughter and son.
