Susanne Scaringi Obituary

Susanne Neil Scaringi This is a story of faith – about a family who loves and serves God, and a story of Susanne Neil Scaringi: beloved Wife, Daughter, Sister, Niece, Cousin, Auntie and friend. ManyÉmany people called Susanne friend, but I prefer to just call her Nan. I am her father, the one who scolder her when she was bad, encouraged her, shaped her and molded her along with her mother with God's help into the bright and beautiful woman she had become until the Lord took her home on Wednesday morning last. I don't happen to believe in accidents because God is sovereign and if we don't serve a perfect God who knows the best way to bring about His perfect will, then this place on earth is more terrifying than any of us realized. But thank God that is not the case. God uses our suffering for good for those who know Him, and that my dear fiends gives me eternal peace. Where do you start to explain to people about the love of a father and a daughter? At her wedding I described her as my Ferrari who I was always reluctant to have some kid ask to take for a spin. When she was one year old in 1980 she came down with meningitis and we thought we would lose her. That next year we did lose our third child, Ryan Neil, born Jan. 1, 1981 who lived six weeks. Having lost a little one and a big one, neither is easy: they are just different. You have the same hopes for them, but the memories of their life has a much different impact. We loved our daughter as we love our remaining son James and his wife Heather who will become much more than a daughter in-law to us now. When we got out of bed on Wednesday morning I had a son in-law, but on that day Tony became my son. I will be eternally grateful that God brought him to our family the way He did. Susanne was an outdoor woman; I suppose she gets it from our family legacy passed on by her great-grandfathers. Nate Swanson, who was a lineman, sportsman, horseman and hound man. Lloyd Neil Sr. belonged to a sportsman's club in Colville Washington in 1934 when a representative from the newly formed State Game Department came looking for a Game Protector and my Grandfather took the Job. A legacy that I chose to follow as a Game Warden in Washington State for 30 years. Susanne loved the mountains: she loved to trek, ski, run, swim, mountain climb, and cycle. She was an avid cyclist and bike-commuted to work most days. She climbed Mt. Rainier twice, summating once, and she climbed Mt. Baker. She was a three year varsity runner at Rogers HS in Puyallup, a Heptathlete at CWU, did a triathlon with Team in Training in Maui 2003, and the Danskin in 2006, and ran numerous charity runs and half marathons. But her heart was in Christ and a ministry called YoungLife. She was a YoungLife leader in college and worked a summer at Beyond Malibu in 1998 where kids climb the 7000 foot mountains from sea level for a mountain top experience. After graduating from CWU she came home to Puyallup. That fall she was hired by Marmont Mountain Works in Bellevue. Tony Scaringi came in her store to buy a jacket that fall and he had a Beyond Malibu hat on. She asked him if he had been there and his response was that he had been a guide for the last two years. They were married the following year. We have grown closer over the last year as Tony's father, Michael Scaringi was diagnosed with Cancer and passed on last May. Susanne had an incredible spirit and those who knew her will agree that they couldn't get enough of her infectious laugh, her caring manner, and bright eyes. I think everyone will remember her hair. She was the kind of girl who would do anything for a friend and making friends was her gift from God. She went to work for Outdoor Research in Seattle two years ago as a Customer Service Representative serving their international accounts. We know the kind of girl she was demonstrated by the 100 people in the waiting room at Harborview Hospital last Wednesday. We will miss her dearly but we have an assurance that we will be with her again in Paradise with Christ, and that, my friends, is our ultimate Joy. She was preceded in death by her Grandparents Charles and Emma Newschwander, her Brother Ryan, cousins Chuck Newschwander III and Angie Jackson. She is survived by her Husband Anthony Scaringi from West Seattle, her Mother Susan and I, Mike Neil, her Grandparents Lloyd and Bobbe Neil, Brother James and Heather Neil and her Niece Grace and Nephew Hudson. Her Aunts Peggy Perron, Janet (Greg) Danielson, Pam (Ken) Rhodes, Melissa (Thomas) Rodriguez, Uncle Charles (Diane) Newschwander Jr., Cousins Jennifer, Erin, and Mathew, Brian and Megan, Katy and Jeff, Katrina, Jessica and Lilly Jo, Samantha and Morgan. She is also survived by Her mother in-law Suzie Scaqringi, Brother in-law Marco (Robin) and her beloved dog Neah. A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at Overlake Christian Church in Bellevue Washington at 10 am Saturday October 7th. ALL ARE WELCOME Arrangements by New Tacoma Cemetery and a graveside service with close friends and family will be held on Friday October 6th at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers remembrances may be made in Susanne's name to YoungLife, Beyond Malibu through www.orgear.com

Hi Nan, thank you for the other day. Little reminders of you are really nice. I think I'm getting better at noticing them. I miss you everyday and as I'm training for my first marathon I feel you cheering me on.

Just writing in, it doesn't surprise me one bit that so many are still writing in about our dear friend Sus.

I have thought of her a lot since I just got married this summer. I was blessed to have Tony be there for me. I am so lucky to have had them both in my life as well as the whole Neil family.

I am racing again and it is so cool as it makes me feel like she is with me. Hanging getting me through that dreaded bike ride!

What a bright light that is well missed, forever and ever.

Love muchly,
Shelby

I cannot believe that it has been 2 years since I last spoke to Susanne, saw her smile, and enjoyed her company . She lived such an amazing life and her passing made me appreciate the smallest things in my life. I will be forever thankful for our friendship and for the amazing gift she gave me. I wish we could have had more laughs and shared memories, but the time we did spend together was rich and filled with happiness. She helps me daily strive to be a better woman, mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. I just wanted you to know that I think about her constantly and even in death her spirit is strong.

Dearest Susanne,

About this time last year your Mother wrote to me that she could not believe it had been almost a year since September 27th. I wrote back to your Mom:

"I received your card two days ago and wanted to respond immediately, but … I continue to be at a loss to express myself adequately when it comes to your Daughter and my friend. Last year, on 11 October, I paid the Tacoma News Tribune to keep the 'Legacy' for Susanne permanently, but to this minute I have not been able to find a way to express myself on the very Legacy pages for which I paid. That she was so young, so good, so loving, so giving, so caring makes her loss almost insufferable. I used to think, and still do, that she and Tony would have been the best parents ever. In fact, instead of ‘hello’ I used to ask ‘Are you pregnant yet?’ And then came Tony’s Master’s Degree and graduation and them thus being able to afford to have a child and Susanne telling me she and Tony had finally decided to start talking about having a child. If she had been my age, her loss wouldn’t have mattered. I’ve had a chance at life, as have others my age, but to have that chance taken just at the beginning of a new marriage, right after moving into their new house…. I’ll never drive past Magnuson Park and not remember all the walks she and Neah and I took between 2004 and 2006. Last night was the first time I have been at Lola for dinner since meeting Susanne and Tony for dinner there on Wednesday, 26 July 2006. Last night, I pointed out the booth were we sat and told a friend about Susanne and Tony (there was a little blond-haired girl sitting where Susanne sat that night). You’re right; it is impossible to believe that 27 September is almost here again, that a year has gone by. There has been a lot of death and sadness in my family … but I do not think anything has ever impacted me as greatly as what has happened to you, Susanne, and Tony. Sometime between now and the 27th, probably on the 26th or 27th, I am going to find a way to post my thoughts about Susanne (and you and Tony and Mike and Neah) on Mike’s website and with the Tacoma News Tribune Legacy, but I do not know how I or anyone else will ever be able to put into words an adequate description of the goodness that was Susanne…."

Susanne, between then (2006) and now (2008), I was unable to write a post; I just could not find the words. I still have in my Inbox the e-mail you sent to me a couple nights after you and Tony and I had dinner at Lola when you closed with the postscript, “We get our keys next week!!!” For me, that says it all, explains the sadness that has kept me at a loss for words for two years to the point I wrote the owners of a poetry story in Wallingford begging them to help me find books of poetry that I could send to your Father and Mother that might give them solace. Your Father, I imagine, wrote on the website he has in remembrance of you that you called him and your Mother every day. One of the many wonderful things I remember about you from when we met in 2002 or 2003 was that there was never a day at Marmot when you did not talk lovingly about your parents — I felt like I knew them well at least a year before I met them. That you loved G-d, loved your parents, loved your Brother, loved Gracie, and that you were the kind of person who took only a split second to say “yes” when I asked you to join Team In Training for King’s Trail Triathlon in Maui are some of the main, and most important reasons, I came to cherish you, loved watching you fall in love with Tony, and relaxed in the confident feeling that here in Seattle I had this wonderful friend who would call or e-mail out of the blue every couple of months and say, “Let’s have lunch” or dinner or “Let’s take Neah to the dog park.”
Old people like me should die; young and so wonderfully good and loving people like you and Tony should live forever. That you did not, leaves me with a sadness that will hopefully never go away.

In early November 2006, I wrote to your Father and Mother,
"Dear Mike and Sue, As I have spent time remembering Susanne, remembering watching her fall head over heels in love with Tony, remembering seeing the first picture of Susanne, Tony, and Neah, remembering all the hours at Marmot, and so many good conversations, I have been most thankful for the fact that out of the blue in July I received an e-mail from Susanne wanting to get together for dinner – and that she, Tony, and I were able to share dinner together the week before they got the keys to their new home…. I wish with all my heart that you would not be going through all of the heartbreak with which I know you are trying to live…. I feel I know you very well because I know how very much Susanne worshipped and loved you with every fiber of her being. I did not know how to start this letter; I did not know what would be best to write in the middle, and I do not know how to end other than to let you know that with tears in my eyes my heart goes out to you and Tony and the rest of your family…. You, Tony, and Susanne will be in my heart forever. Go with G-d and may you be at Peace."

Now, Susanne, two years later, I do not know how to end this post to you — and to your family — but I do know that from now until when I die I will treasure the friendship we had, be grateful to G-d for the person you were, and regret beyond my ability to express your loss.

I close with inexpressible sadness, but with the greatest thanks for the short time I was able to be part of your life and for the wonderful things I saw while being your friend — at the head of the list watching you set your sights on Tony and falling head over heels in love with him, Neah, and your never hidden and always so obvious love of your parents and G-d. May your memory live forever.

I just now heard the news of this world's loss of Susanne. I attended Central the same time she did, and knew her through friends. Susanne was an amazing person with such a spark of enthusiasm for life. She is and will always be admired by me. I send my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

With Love,

I don't even know what to say. I have been thinking about Susanne for so long. She is such a vibrant force-whoever met her will not forget her. I just assumed I would see her one of these years-I guess I will have to wait.

Nan...I miss you so much and think about you a million times a day! I have a picture collage of your life sitting here near my computer that brings me joy and sadness. I am going to miss your laughter and amazing sense of humor. I am sad for all the things we now can't do together. My heart is breaking for everybody in our family...most especially Tony's. I want you to know that you were like a sister to me and the closest girl I have ever had in my life! I will always love you and treasure our time together here on earth and look forward to seeing you again someday in heaven. I love you soooooo much!

Love, Kate

Susanne
was a beloved coworker and friend. She came to work every day full of
enthusiam, spunk, and sassiness. My dog Worden, who regularly comes to work, always received a big hug and an outpouring of love from
Susanne. We will miss her presence. We will miss working with her,
socializing with her, and recreating with her. Her continued presence
in our hearts and minds will remind us, inspire us, and encourage us to
live well, to cherish every day, and appreciate fully every
experience.

On June 14th 1979 my life was changed forever. That was the day I became a big brother. I was a best friend, playmate, protector and antagonist all wrapped into one. I believe my favorite roll was antagonist, although my sister often played the roll of antagonist best. When she was 1 she had meningitis which nearly claimed her life. When she was 2, I pushed her down in a kiddy pool. My dad found her under the water facing the sky with her eyes wide open. It is a very vivid memory of my father shaking her upside down to get the water out of her and the relief we all felt when she began breathing. I remember fighting over who got which seat in the car. We had a long time battle over two beach towels. She would probably still contend that she didn’t lose my towel. When we first moved to Puyallup we shared a large upstairs space as our bedrooms. I remember once being in an argument over something and getting the Mexican bullwhip I purchased in Tijuana Mexico. I went to snap the whip at her and got her in the foot. She screamed bloody murder (she always had a little flair for the dramatic. Needless to say I was dead meat. This last summer she still argued that I got her in the butt. Despite all this I loved her dearly. I remember building forts together in the woods of our home in Chehalis. Riding the bus together for an hour and a half each day to school. Writing and producing a puppet show for the family on Christmas Eve, which included a title bout between the Rocky Balboa and Clubber Lang punching dolls. Living across the street form the Puyallup fair Susanne had a little lemonade stand and sold candy. She raked in the big bucks while I parked cars in back for peanuts. Ice skating together at open skate, her to practice and me to pick up chicks. Later in life we were often at each others sporting events cheering each other on during Jr. High and High School. She followed in her big brothers footsteps in many ways singing in choir, active in YL, running track and field and doing the high jump. After High School she followed me to CWU (Probably because she didn’t have the grades and it was the only school she was accepted at - like her big brother). There we shared two great years together. Through many of those years I found myself standing tall and puffed up every time a new boy came around. Several of the boys I got along with but none proved worthy until Tony. I was proud to be in their wedding and to gain a brother.
Though I had many a proud days as a brother, none were as proud as watching my sister as an auntie. She was affectionately known as aunt Ninnie. When I asked Gracie about aunt Ninnie she said she would remember her long pretty hair and she gave great hugs. My daughter is a lot like her aunt Ninnie. She often changes here clothes 6-7 times a day. She likes wearing her swimsuit around the house. Grace is a perfectionist with everything she does. Drawings have to be perfect. Grace’s My Little Ponies are lined up in perfect rows tallest to shortest. She also has the incredible gift of belching like her aunt Ninnie. My son Hudson loved and adored her as well. He couldn’t get enough of her hair, he would get lost in it. Susanne often took pride in teaching my children words that were not always the most appropriate. As my wife Heather and I chatted the other day looking at some pictures Heather noted how Susanne’s smile was often the largest when she is pictured with Grace or Hudson.
Finally I would like to speak for my wife Heather. She said she will miss the simple things. She always did stupid little hand made cards or gifts that made you feel special. Susanne once spent 4 hours on a necklace for Graces 4th b-day, when a string with some beads would have worked. All of this amounts to the kind and caring person she was. On Wednesday morning when Heather received word of the accident, she prayed for Susanne and that whatever comes from this accident that Susanne would be “Spectacular”. God answered in a clear voice “She will be.” When we arrived at the hospital and heard the news Heather prayed to God again and argued saying “You said she would be spectacular!” God didn’t answer. He wanted her to find the answer. I think it is pretty clear that Susanne is more spectacular today that she ever was and will ever be remembered here as Spectacular. “God just brought one of his best home early.”

Psalm 116:15- Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones (saints).

Sue, Mike,Tony, James and Heather,

Our hearts ache for you and we send our prayers to all of you. It seems like only yesterday that Suzanne and Wendy were little girls. Playing volley ball, looking at the boys and growing up way too fast to become the lovely ladies.

Suzannes' beautiful eyes and spunky spirit will be missed.

All of our love and prayers go to you.

The Neil family has been a part of my life since Jr. High. I have so many memories of Young Life, Malibu, Jamaica Mission Trip, and just being goofy girls together. The last time I saw Susanne was at my baby shower where she made my daughter, Ava a beautiful blanket. I'm so glad I have it to treasure, just like Susanne's friendship and love throughout my life. Susanne, you would have been a lifelong friend here on earth, but more importantly, I'll have you as a lifelong friend in heaven.

Mike you said that you don't believe in accidents. Tonight two of my worlds collided. I knew James and your family in high school and remember the warm welcome as a YL kid and choir nerd. I can picture Susanne's radiant smile and playing that silly pig game at your dining room table.
And Tony, a friend I met years later at the Inn and as a fellow Deputee, I didn't realize until tonight you had married into such a wonderful family.
My prayer for you all is that you may know a glimpse of the peace that Susanne now knows. That peace that surpassing all our attempts at understanding...

October 4, 2006

Sus was my someone who taught me the meaning of best friends. You always knew she was the type of friend you could have no plans for when you get together but that didn't matter, you would laugh harder and have more fun than ever. You could tell her anything and never be judged, you could share your dreams and inspirations with her and she would support you 100%. You could go on date with Tony and her and never feel like a third wheel, but a part of their family. I learned standing with her at her wedding what true love really was and what I should hold out for. How do you say goodbye to someone so wonderful? Perhaps not goodbye, but take care my dear sweet friend you will always be in my heart.
Love muchly,
Shelby Jacobs

Susanne, how can I even tell you what your friendship and place in my heart and life meant to me? You taught me about true and long-lasting friendship. I await the day I get to be reunited with you in Heaven. Tony, Mike, Sue, James and Heather - I am so so thankful that Susanne had such an incredible family and that you will continue to have each other to cling to.

Dear Parents,
I am praying for you. My daughter worked side by side with your daughter at OR. She was devastated with grief and that brought me down also. We can get through this as we are recipents of the Deliver's comfort, the light of Christ, encircled in the arms of his love, "And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16 And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them." (Mark 10:13) dan

Tony, Mike, Sue and family,

We wanted to let you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Susanne was a special person and we were so blessed to call her and Tony our friends. We met Susanne and Tony a few years back through our mutual friend, Beth. Since then we have had the pleasure of enjoying Susanne's infectious laugh and her warm hearted spirit. She could truly light
up the room at any event we were at together. We will always treasure the time we shared
and all the good times we had. We will miss Susanne greatly, but we will continue to keep her in our hearts.

With Sympathy,

Susanne, We are so very grateful for your life and the bright light of God's love that shined through you to all those you met and befriended. What a gift you were as my God-daughter, taking the place of the daughter I never had. Seems so recent...pushing our little "Princess" on the swing at Goose Prairie; reading you a book in my lap downstairs by the fire; watching you figure skate on the ice at Sprinker; joking with you about your cluttered room; basking in your warm embrace and loving words following last Father's Day service at OSLC. Even in your absence, your bright spirit continues to penetrate into the hearts of so many and, in so doing, points the way to Christ as the Giver of all true life. HIS recent "re-assignment" of you to more pressing battlefields leaves a grievious wound in our hearts, moderated only by the certain knowledge that you will reserve seats for us near you at that great reunion banquet in the not too distant future. You have loved so many so well and we thank God for sharing you with us.

October 1, 2006

Susanne,

I never had the privilege to meet you, yet I believe that I do know you in some way, via my friendship with your mother and father. If you were anything like the wonder of your parents, than you must have been a real blessing to have as a friend.

I was at the hospital the day you went home to heaven above, and I can attest to the fact of how much of a gift you were to this world by the show of love and support I saw in the hospital that day. You clearly had a husband who loved you, parents that would do whatever they could for you if possible, and many friends who valued your company.

I look forward to seeing and talking to you one day in heaven above. Until then I will treasure the friendship and love that I have found in your family.

Sincerely,
Pastor Dean Johnson

Nan- Just as you were the first to greet me at Ballou Jr. High, I hope you're the first to greet me when the Lord calls me home. Every time I have chocolate ice cream with raspberries on top, I will think of you. I cherish the times we had together. Waking up on your wedding day and rolling over to see your face light up when I reminded you that you were going to marry Tony that day. Thank you for being such a bright light in my life. I didn't tell you enough, but I will always love you.

We love you and will miss you always. Gone but never forgotten. As you told me once before Susanne, you've left a footprint on my heart.
