Suzette Marie Rendina ObituarySuzette Marie Rendina (née Berlet). 69, passed away peacefully on Monday, October 6, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born on September 26, 1956, in Cleveland, Ohio, Suzette lived a vibrant and spirited life that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.
Suzette was the devoted mother of Bridgette M. (Shawn) Stemple, proud and cherished grandmother of Mason Lababidi and Savanna (CJ) Pirosko, and the adoring great-grandmother of Blake Marie and Elaina Marie, who brought endless light and laughter into her days. She was the treasured sister of John (Salve) Berlet, and an incredible friend to so many-someone whose kindness, humor, and loyalty were constants in the lives she graced.
A woman of many passions, Suzette lived life entirely on her own terms. She was never afraid to speak her mind, to laugh loudly, or to live boldly. Her family and friends will always remember her saying, "Whaaat?"-a word that became her signature expression of humor and spunk. She loved to travel, play cards, and root for her beloved Cleveland Browns, celebrating their victories and faithfully enduring their losses with the same devotion she gave to everything she loved.
Suzette was also a true lover of all things antique-treasuring the stories, beauty, and timeless charm each piece carried. Her eye for detail and appreciation for history were reflections of her own rich, sentimental heart.
Her greatest joy, though, was her family. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and found endless comfort in the companionship of her cats.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband and soulmate, Jeffory Walker, with whom she now reunites in eternal peace.
Family and friends are invited to gather in celebration of Suzette's remarkable life on Friday, October 10, 2025, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at The Abbey of Willoughby, 38011 Euclid Avenue (located on the grounds of the McMahon-Coyne-Vitantonio Funeral Home).
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Lake County Humane Society in Suzette's name.
Suzette will be remembered for her warmth, her laughter, her fierce love of family, and her ability to find beauty-in people, in life, and in every treasured antique she discovered. Her spirit will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
