Obituary

Suzanne Norma (Lang) Holcomb was born on November 20, 1922 in San Francisco, California and left this earth on January, 15, 2015 in Portland, Oregon, surrounded by her loving granddaughters Kelly (Heyward) Veenker and Heather (Heyward) Whelpley, as well as daughter, Susan (Holcomb) Heyward. Suzanne grew up in San Francisco and later Coarse Gold with her parents, older sister June, and younger sister Vivian. She later met her husband of over 70 years, Earl Winford Holcomb in Madera at his father's gas station, and they were married during the height of W.W.II on May 27, 1944 in San Jose, California. During this time, Earl was a Captain in the Air Force and flew 18 missions over Germany. After the war, Suzanne and Earl would later make their home in Livermore, California where Earl worked at the Lawrence Laboratory, and Suzanne was a homemaker extraordinaire. They raised two children, the now deceased Earl, Jr., and their daughter, Susan Norma. In time, they would help to raise their granddaughters, Kelly and Heather, the daughters of Susan and Kim John Heyward, while living in Livermore. 2007 brought Earl and Suzanne to Portland, Oregon to live next door to Kelly and her husband, Tracey Veenker, and be joined by Heather and her husband, Christopher Whelpley, who live a few miles away; Kim and Susan would later move to be with the family after retirement in 2008. 2010 and 2012 saw the arrival of Suzanne's great grandchildren, Poppy Suzanne, and Atticus Allen Veenker. Despite the adversity of the Great Depression, W.W.II and the loss of her beloved son, Earl Jr., Suzanne persevered with great beauty, class, wit, and an opinion on just about everything there is in Life. She dressed to perfection, both snow and water-skiied, and gardened the way she lived her life- with passion and style. She is already greatly missed by her family, both immediate and extended. Suzanne will be buried at Oakmont Cemetery in Pleasant Hill, California next to her son, Earl Jr.
