Suzanne was born in St. Boniface on July 25, 1909. ln 1930 she married the love of her life, Edmond Lannoo and moved to Charleswood/ Headingley, where they raised their four children and operated Charleswood Dairy until Edmond's death in 1950. In 1957 Nana took employment with the Manitoba Government as a Matron at Vaughan Street Detention Centre, where she worked until her retirement. During her retirement years Nana enjoyed travelling the world with her daughter Cecille and her best friend Alida Taillieu, as well as, spending quality time with her many grandchildren. Nana was a true matriarch ensuring her large family was treasured and well taken care of. Each and everyone benefited from the time they spent with Nana at her home and her cottage at Twin Lake Beaches. Suzanne spent the last seven years as a resident of Extendicare Tuxedo Villa Nursing Home where she was loved by all who had the pleasure of caring for her. The family would like to thank the Administration, Nursing Staff and Care Aides for the excellent care Nana received during her time there. A burial and Celebration of Life is planned for the summer of 2009. For those wishing to honor Suzanne's life the family requests that you attend a Midnight Mass of your choosing December 24, 2008. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the MS Society of Manitoba. Rest in Peace, Pet. You will be greatly missed and we will always love you. Chapel Lawn 885-9715
