Elizabeth Rademacher Bormet, born May 8, 1966 in San Diego, CA passed away on Friday, October 23, 2020 after a very brief illness in San Antonio, TX. Raised in Spokane, WA, where she graduated from Central Valley High School in 1984, she moved to Seattle in 1988. In 1997, following her marriage to her husband, Roman, she moved to Texas and settled in San Antonio. A devoted mother to her two children, Cade and Breck, Elizabeth truly enjoyed spending time watching them compete in the sports they loved and being their biggest fan. The SA Devils, South Texas Sliders, Unite Basketball and Reagan Athletic programs and families were immensely dear to Elizabeth's heart and road trips, locker decorating, helmet cleaning and cheering from the stands were her favorite pastime. From a small child, Elizabeth's greatest desire was to be a mother and her true joy came from devoting herself to her family's happiness. Making meals, cleaning, carpool and laundry gave her such fulfillment because it was in service to her family. She adored her children with her entire being and felt they were her greatest gifts.

Elizabeth loved to laugh – her eyes would light up, her head would throw back and often her laugh was the loudest in the group. Her love of laughter and generous spirit attracted many to her side. She thrilled to see her friends' success and was always ready with a compassionate ear or helping hand. A true friend, she often did things behind the scenes with little fanfare and no desire for accolades because she hated to see anyone in sorrow or pain. She never forgot a birthday or special occasion and often arrived with the perfect gift. While she shunned the spotlight, her vivacious personality couldn't help but make her stand out in a crowd and often had people in stitches with her ability to tell a great story. Most of the time, you were laughing long before the punchline as she was laughing so hard while telling it. Beautiful in appearance and spirit, Elizabeth was always impeccably dressed and her love of pink lipstick and leopard print was legendary.

Despite living in Texas, Elizabeth's heart remained in the Pacific Northwest. Her passion for a well-cooked piece of salmon (that she would insist you try a bite of), her Christmas Eve celebrations that included Dungeness Crab flown in for the occasion, her deep love of the ocean and the way its natural beauty filled her soul when she returned to visit were well-known. She was passionate about sharing this love with her friends and managed to drag a few Texans home over the years to share it with them. She loved travel, good food and wine, laughing until she cried and caring for others.

Elizabeth was passionate about Interior Design and found her true career calling helping many people realize their dream home. She would literally become breathless with excitement over flooring, paint choices and finishes. Over the years many of her friends relied on her eye for detail and flair for the beautiful to help them create their own personal sanctuaries. Her own homes were showcases of taste and elegance and all were welcome at any time to stop in for a drink, a snack or just to spend time.

54 was far too young an age to lose Elizabeth and the absence she leaves behind will be impossible to fill. She loved fiercely and deeply and those who found themselves lucky enough to be encircled by her love were privileged indeed. In respect to her final wishes Elizabeth will be interred in Spokane.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Shirley Rademacher. She is survived by her son, Cade (21); her daughter, Breck (17); her siblings Brett Rademacher (Michelle Rademacher) of Spokane, WA; Guy Rademacher (Jennifer Rademacher) of Bothell, WA; Kristin Engdahl (RDML Chris Engdahl) of Virginia Beach, VA and 13 nieces and nephews (Hailey, Rachel, Makayla, Zack, Isaiah, Georgia, Teagan, Matthew, Nathanial, Joshua, Daniel, Gabriel and Ariel.)
