SUE PLETT February 14, 1921 - May 21, 2011 Sue (Susanna) Plett, nee Penner, passed away on May 21, 2011 at Donwood Manor at age 90. She leaves to mourn, children Carl of Montreal, Kathy, Ronalee (husband Jim Janzen), grandchildren Joe (wife Sarah) of Davis, CA, Jessica of Calgary, Billy; her sister Anne Friesen in BC and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband of 64 years, Peter, in 2006, four brothers and four sisters, all her sisters/brothers-in-law and several nieces and nephews. Sue was self-sacrificing for the needs of her family doing all she could to help and encourage them, in particular modeling faith, tenacity, a strong work ethic, and delight in travel. She enjoyed her payroll/bookkeeping jobs but was especially enthused about income tax matters, working hard for her clients until her mid-80s when her vision became too impaired to read, do needlework or volunteer in the church library, but still managing to play Scrabble with special tiles. Thanks to CNIB, Ruth Schau's homecare team, and the exceptional staff caring for Mom at Donwood. The funeral will be Wednesday, May 25, 11:00 a.m. at Elmwood MB Church, 145 Henderson Hwy, with viewing from 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m. Interment at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens. If desired, donations can be made to Donwood Manor Foundation or Elmwood MB Church library.
