SUSAN HELEN LESCHYSON (nee NADON) It is with great sadness that the family of Susan Helen Leschyson announce her passing. She died in her home surrounded by the ones she loved, on December 6, 2010. Susan will join her predeceased parents, Lucien and Helen Nadon; as well as her sister Karen. She leaves behind an adoring husband George; sons, Brent, Matthew and Justin; brother Lyle (Joyce); granddaughter Natalia, a large extended family and many friends. Susan was born August 17, 1954 and moved to Garden City in 1959. Susan enjoyed growing up with her older brother and friends, Laurie and Barb. In 1974 she met George, who would be the love of her life, and she would marry in 1976. The years that followed would see her raising and spending time with her growing family. Susan will be remembered by how much she loved her children and granddaughter. Many hours were spent cheering on her sons at hockey and other sports. Her wisdom and patience were always demonstrated helping with her children's school work. Her family valued the time they spent together playing Scrabble, cooking together and sharing stories. She was always ready to lend an ear and help with her family's challenges and successes. Working with Canadian Air, and later Air Canada, allowed Susan to explore her love of travelling. She enjoyed long trips across North America with her parents and brother as a child, and later with a family of her own. She especially enjoyed exploring her history in Scotland and vacationing in Thailand, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean, with George. Among her closest friends she counted Maren and Angela who she would spend many afternoons with having tea, going out for lunch, and spending quality time with. Her CancerCare Support Group was a very important part of her life after being diagnosed in 2007. Their contribution to Susan's life was a guiding light for her and her family. Susan was often happiest with a good book or a crossword puzzle surrounded by family and friends. She was kind, honest and hard working. Her warm smile, love and generosity impacted us all. She will be dearly missed. A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, December 14 at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street. Interment will follow at Brookside Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to CancerCare Manitoba.
