Suzanne (Verret) Bilyeu

Stevensville - Suzanne Bilyeu, 77, passed away on April 1, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in Hawaii, Suzanne spent her early years embracing island life before settling in Montana—a place she would come to call home. It was there she built a beautiful life with her soulmate, Robert Bilyeu, and raised the family she was most proud of: sons Joseph, Paul, Guy, and Bobby. Suzanne was the heart of her home. While her boys were off on hunting or camping adventures, she kept things running with love, strength, and unwavering support. Family was everything to her, and she devoted herself completely to their happiness and well-being. She had a gentle love for animals and nature. Whether feeding deer in her yard or caring for her beloved dogs, Suzanne found peace in the simple beauty of the world around her. With a fiery spirit and a loving heart, she was never afraid to speak her mind—and those who knew her loved her even more for it. Suzanne is survived by her sons: Paul Marcum, Joe Marcum, Bobby Pearson, and Guy Bilyeu; her daughters-in-law: Darcee Wheeler Peckham, Tammy Doyra, Sharon Marcum, and Trish Faber; grandchildren: Colby Marcum, Garrett Marcum, Zeb Pearson, Racie Pearson, Sheyenne Standard, Kale Marcum, and Kaden Marcum; and great-grandchildren: Levi Standard, Alexi Standard, and Nova Pearson. She will be missed deeply by extended family and dear friends—Carol, Goldie, Sharon, Don, Denise, Butch, Cathy—and everyone lucky enough to have known her. Suzanne now reunites in heaven with those who have gone before her, especially the love of her life, Robert Bilyeu, her parents, and beloved siblings. May she rest in peace, free of pain, and may the love and memories she gave so freely live on in all of us.
