Troy- Suzette B. (Watts) Gannon, 74, a longtime resident of Phillips Road in Pittstown and, more recently, The Elliott in Troy, died suddenly Sunday, July 5, 2025, at Samaritan Hospital in Troy following a long illness.
Born in Troy December 12, 1950, Suzette was the daughter of the late Frank M. and Leona (Gladir) Watts and, for many years, the wife of the late Francis J. “Frank” Gannon Jr., who predeceased her in December 2011.
She was raised in Troy and attended Troy City Schools.
For many years, Suzette was employed as a housekeeper at the former Woodland Village Nursing Center and later at St. Mary’s Hospital in Troy. She retired in 2010.
