May 16, 2018
It is with great sadness that Mariye Susan (Susie) Lochmiller passed away on May 16, 2018 at the age of 66 following several weeks of declining health. She was married to Kurt Lochmiller for 39 years and was a loving mother to Margaux Williamson (Patrick Williamson), Chase Lochmiller (Devon Lochmiller), and Reid Lochmiller. She lived in Cherry Hills Village for 31 years and spent her final two years living in Castle Pines with her husband, Kurt. She was born on November 9, 1951 to Aiko and James Mizuki and spent most of her early life in Seattle, WA. She graduated from the University of Washington as part of the class of 1973 with a B.A. in Japanese Language and Literature. She worked as a flight attendant for 14 years for Frontier Airlines, before focusing full time on her family. She married Kurt Lochmiller on August 25, 1979 in her hometown of Seattle, WA. Apart from her family, her greatest passion was getting creative in the kitchen. She was well known for hosting dinner parties for her friends and family where no one ever went home hungry. She was loved and adored by many, but most of all by her husband and children all of whom she loved and was proud of.
