Suzanne “Suzie” Platt Kornblit-Rosenberg, 75, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully on June 20, 2024 from cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) after a very brave fight. Suzie was born on July 27, 1948 in Houston, Texas as the only daughter to Sol and Molly Platt. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother, Captain Alfred “Fred” Platt, and first husband Sam Kornblit. She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Myron Rosenberg, her two children Kym McMorries (Lee) and Todd Kornblit (Jennifer), three grandchildren, Maddox McMorries, Morgan Kornblit and Molly Kornblit, and her brother Melvin Platt (Jody), along with niece Mimi Zimmerman (Brian) and nephew Mark Platt (Alice). She also survived by many other family and friends who will miss her more than words can describe. Suzie graduated from Bellaire High School and earned her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oklahoma in 1968, followed by her Masters in Education at University of Houston. Her first career was as a teacher for special education students with HISD. She obtained a Doctor of Jurisprudence from South Texas College of Law in 1981. She was an avid reader with an extensive library (Stephen King was one favorite) and maintained an intellectual curiosity about a variety of topics which helped her in higher education, her professional life and always able to have a conversation. Suzie was also a wanderlust. She regularly traveled, and was famous among those who knew her for her detailed, indexed, tabbed and incredibly thick itinerary binders, and her emailed journal entries. In addition to working, reading, traveling, and raising a family, Suzie found time to engage in different passions and was part of numerous organizations. Her greatest joy, besides her children and grandchildren, was being an advisor with B’nai Brith Youth Organization (BBYO). Her dedication and the impact she had was so much that recently, in honor of BBYO’s 100th year, Suzie was awarded the BBYO Centennial Award presented to her at an event planned by her children and a host of people whom she directly impacted that wanted to honor her. We are eternally grateful for the end of life care and compassion provided by Cheryl, Abby, Unique, Christy, Carla and Laquannas. Funeral services was held Sunday, June 23, 2024 . at Beth Yeshurun Post Oak Cemetery in Bender Chapel.
