March 29, 1951 - January 9, 2023 Susan Alma Wahlen Markham, 71 years of age, in Huntington Beach, California, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on January 9th, 2023. Susan was the 2nd and oldest daughter of 7 children, born March 29, 1951, and raised in Aberdeen, Idaho by Floyd Chester Wahlen and Orva Marie Broadhead Wahlen. Susan and her 6 siblings: David, Kim, Jan, Wendy, Val, and Eric, were raised in love and laughter. Susan attended Brigham Young University in Provo, where she earned a Bachelor's degree in Music Education. There, she met and later married the love of her life, Melvin Gerald Markham, in the Idaho Falls Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on August 5th, 1972. After attending dental school in Chicago, they settled in Huntington Beach raising 6 kids: MaraLee, Melinda, Steven, Gregory, Brian, and Lynn. Mel and Susan served as mission leaders presiding over the Guatemala City Central Mission from July 1, 2014 to July 1, 2017. Susan was a true friend to all and had a gift for connecting with people at a very real level. She blessed the lives of others through her musical abilities in church, community, several schools, and down to one on one instruction in her own home, where payment was optional. The focus was on helping the next generation. Susan was best remembered not only as a strong mother but as a mother figure to 500 missionaries in Guatemala which earned her the nickname of GuateMama.
