A 22-year-old woman found dead in her Spring Valley home is being remembered by family and friends.
Victoria Lynn Lyman was found dead at a house in 9100 block of Circulo Margen Saturday morning. Because her body showed signs of trauma, homicide detectives are investigating the case as a suspicious death.
“It's devastating because when someone passes away that young, it's a rock heavy on everyone’s heart,” said neighbor Al Robinson.
Robinson met Victoria after she married Dennis Lyman’s son and moved in across the street. Sometimes she worked at her father-in-law’s tire shop to earn extra cash.
Dennis is remembering his daughter-in-law for her compassion.
“Sympathetic to others. Always had an open ear. Just a tragedy she had to die so early,” Dennis said.
Friends say Victoria attended Steele Canyon High School and described her online as a hippie and a nature lover.

Dennis says her cheerful spirit is what he’ll miss the most.
“She used to bring a smile to everyone's face around her. If they were frowning, she would cheer them up,” he said.
Officials would not give details of Victoria’s traumatic injuries. Results of an autopsy conducted Sunday have not been released.
Investigators say Victoria's husband and roommate were at home when she was found dead. Officials say this is currently a death investigation, so no suspects are in custody.
