Wednesday, Oct. 8, 1997 | 10:33 a.m.
Suzanne Park Ralya, a former Las Vegas ice skater, died Saturday in Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. She was 62.
The Liverpool native starred as Snow White in the first Disney skating production overseas. She and her co-star, Doug Breniser, as Prince Charming, gave a command performance before Queen Elizabeth in Liverpool.
Park and Breniser married and their wedding was shown as an hour-long special on British TV.
They moved to Las Vegas in 1963 and skated together at several hotel-casinos, including the Mint, the old Frontier, the Stardust and the Thunderbird. Breniser still lives in Las Vegas.
Park married Jerry Ralya, a longtime newspaper reporter and editor, in 1971 and they moved to Newport Beach, Calif., in 1972. Their daughter, Rosana, was born there in 1974.
Suzanne moved to England since 1983.
Suzanne Park Ralya is survived by daughter Rosana, now of San Francisco, and husband Jerry Ralya of Las Vegas.
Services are set for 1:30 p.m. Thursday at the Heart of England Crematorium in Nuneaton.
Arrangements are being handled by D.B. Devall, Funeral Directors, 2 Wembrook House, The Green, Attleborrough, Nuneaton CV114JZ, England.
