Suzette Solheim Obituary

Suzette "Suzi" Solheim
January 3, 1964 - April 30, 2021
Vancouver , Washington - Suzette C. Solheim (Malone), 57, of Vancouver, was called home by the Lord on April 30th, 2021. Mom had been suffering from Large B Cell Lymphoma for some time, however, her faith in God remained strong. She was comforted by the company of her daughters and the kind words and prayers of family in her final hours. Mom was a graduate of Lakes High School in Lakewood, WA and a long time resident of Roy, WA. She had several hobbies including riding motorcycles, collecting cool stuff, sewing and gardening. She was a survivor and had overcome many obstacles in her life that would have devastated most people. She could make anybody laugh usually unintentionally just being her goofy self and was a lot of fun to be around. She loved spending time with her family and was always buying camping gear in hopes of making a trip "one of these days". A nature lover, Mom was always adventuring outside when she wasn't working. She had a knack for knowing things and would just show up with what you needed. She loved animals and was also very creative and artistic. Suzette was predeceased by her parents James and Ellen Malone of Lakewood, WA. She is survived by her two daughters and their children as well as many aunts uncles and cousins.

Another birthday of yours came and went without you. Miss you everyday. Try to think of the good days! You sure would love what I have been doing now for work! Too bad we hadn´t figured out how to sell antiques back when we had the Roy house FULL! Take you with me everyday. Hope you are too busy to be watching from heaven but if you are I hope you are liking what you see. Love you

Thinking of Mom today while I´m sorting out all these treasures! What a haul we got this weekend at sales! I know she would have loved it! So much of her carnival glass and weird little things she would have liked. Even a cool Beatles Music Melody Clock. It makes me remember how she used to go to our Aunt Aleen´s house and sing and play song after song from her Beatles sheet music book on the piano and play with Aunt Aleen´s many many cats! Good memories today.

Listening to the Beatles thinking of Mom. "Once there was a way to back home...Sleep pretty darling do not cry, and I will sing a lullaby." It still seems too soon for her to be gone.

Suzette was a great friend to me and so many others at Pendleton Woolen Mill. I have never met anyone quite like her, she did all she could possibly do to beat this cancer , she was in all of our prayers as she battled on day in and day out. Our other co-worker Marleen Webster was fighting cancer at the same time and they would meet and do there chemo together, made the rough time a little bit easier. Suzette was always learning how to beat this nasty cancer naturally and was always there to help anyone else she could who might be gong through the same thing. she had pretty amazing things happen to her in her life and I loved hearing about them! One was when she was in a car accident working for the post office and she had a near death experience, she saw heaven but it was not her time. I know she was not afraid to die because she KNEW the Lord and she knew that to die is gain, she just wanted to be with her family and see her grandson as long as she possibly could! Now she is in heaven with her Mom and we can't possibly imagine how wonderful that must be! I remember her telling me was she had like a sixth sense to find missing animals and kids. She worked with people who would find missing children and child trafficking's. One time I ran into her at habitat for humanity and talked for a long time, we both love getting a good deal! A matter of fact we both loved to check out free Craigslist all the time and if there was something really good on there and I missed it I always thought in the back of my mind that Suzette probably beat me to it! I remember when her and her boyfriend got a tandem bicycle and how hard that must have been to learn to work together to ride! That is to be said about Suzette - whatever she did in life on this earth she did it "All in, 100%"! Rest in HIS peace, Until we meet again Suzette Solheim!!
