Suzanne Lee (De Mier) McGlashan Our dear Suzanne was born December 14, 1954, the second of three daughters, to Beverly I. and Andrew M. De Mier, in Great Falls, Mont. Suzanne attended Holy Family Grade School and Great Falls Central Catholic High School. Graduating in 1973, she attended Montana State University. In 1975, Suzanne became Miss Montana for the Miss USA Pageant in Niagara Falls, NY. After the pageant, Suzanne was recruited by Frontier Airlines Corporation. At that point, she began her 30-year career as a Flight Attendant and Flight Service Manager. While with Frontier, Suzanne met her beloved husband Herv R. McGlashan, who was a First Officer Pilot, also for Frontier. They joined their lives and families, in marriage July 27, 1984. Mark McGlashan was Herv's only son and became Suzanne's adored step-son. Herv always called Suzanne "his angel on Earth". Suzanne was the kindest, most loving person any of us have ever had the pleasure to know. Her mother, Beverly, was always so proud to call her "daughter". Suzanne brightened our Mother's day, every single day, with her beautiful smile and gentle words. Jean and Marilyn had the great privilege to call her their sister. Her goodness continued to astound us throughout the years we shared together. Suzanne was 'Aunt Suz' to Marilyn's sons Pierce and Taylor Fleming. She ignited their lives, from their births, with life lessons that are obvious to all of us today. We celebrate the spectacular memories and laughter, but feel a profound loss within our family and our community. She led an honorable life always embracing the down-trodden and the marginalized. Suzanne always put others first and did everything in her power to bring 'joy' to all, which she considered "the most important gift a person can give" to those whose lives we touch. We extend our 'heartfelt' gratitude to everyone who has sent us their sympathy and reflections of Suzanne. She touched lives all over the world and all of you have lessened our pain with your thoughts and prayers. Suzanne was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Palm Desert. She worked tirelessly, one-on-one with the elderly and provided love, communication, food, transportation and any services that were required to help people maintain quality of life. Suzanne's favorite charity was the "Eisenhower 5 Star Club", Palm Desert, CA. "Father, we entrust our sister to your mercy. You loved her greatly in this life: now that she is freed from all its cares, give her happiness and peace for ever. Welcome her now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever." All of our love from the McGlashan and De Mier families. Services for Suzanne were held Tues., April 14, 2009 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Palm Desert, Calif. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials in Suzanne's name be made to Eisenhower 5 Star Club, Palm Desert, Calif.Published in The Desert Sun from 5/9 to 5/16/2009
