Suzanne A. Block, 55, of Arlington Heights, a homemaker and former travel agency manager, died of breast cancer Tuesday, May 14, in the Palliative Care Center and Hospice of the North Shore in Skokie. Mrs. Block was born and raised in Chicago. From 1970 until 1984 she managed the Thomas Cook Travel Agency in Chicago. From 1990 until a few years ago, Mrs. Block ran a crafts business, Angel Attic, out of her home. She created and sold angel figurines at crafts shows and gift shops. A “detail-oriented woman who loved to plan and host parties,” Mrs. Block always made sure the food she served was complementary in color to her party decorations, said her husband, Allen E. Mrs. Block is also survived by two sons, Allen A. and Brian; a daughter, Stella Andrews; and a sister, Donna Burki. Visitation will be from 3 to 9 p.m. Friday in Meadows Funeral Home, 3615 Kirchoff Rd., Rolling Meadows. A mass will be said at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in Our Lady of the Wayside Catholic Church, 432 W. Park St., Arlington Heights.
