Suzanne Thayer Obituary


SUZANNE A. THAYER
March 23, 1947 ~ May 10, 2017

Suzanne A. Thayer, age 70, of Vancouver, Washington, died May 10, 2017. She was born March 23, 1947 in Jamestown, New York to William and Nancy Thayer. After attending the University of Bridgeport for Fashion Merchandising and Buying in Connecticut, Suzanne traveled and lived in Miami, FL, Las Vegas, NV and Brian Head, UT and was self-employed in Real Estate and Condominium Management. Relocating to Washington, she worked in the airline business before continuing her education at Clark College in Vancouver and worked as an Adjunct Faculty member before she retired.
Suzanne is survived by her loving partner, Patrick Miller; sisters and brothers, William Thayer of NV, Margaret (Peggy) Young, of VT, Jack Thayer, of NY and Katherine (Blanche) Milliman of NY; as well as several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Nancy and Bill; and her brother, Steven Thayer.
At Suzanne's request, no public service will be held. Arrangements are through the Evergreen Memorial Gardens in Vancouver.
One of Suzanne's favorite expressions was:
'It's not the date you were born or the date you died that is important, it's the dash in between.'

My sister was a women of many facets. She was not afraid to take risks in life. Moving, creating businesses, going back to college in her 50's. It wasn't always easy to reach her but she was always there. She was well loved by many who found her both distant at times then very engaging. I am thankful for our last few visits. She now resides in heaven with grandparents, parents, and our brother Steven. Dad with his chickens, Steve with his dog and Mom with her endless acceptance. At peace at last.
