She will be greatly missed by her son George, daughters, Judy (Lawrence), Margaret (Fred), and Eileen; grandchildren, Sarah (Robert), Jonathan, Sherry (Gavin), Michelle (Ryan), Val (Chris); and sister Justina Doerksen (Peter); as well as by many cherished nieces, nephews, friends and extended family.

Mom will be remembered for her quiet strength, kind and giving nature and her deep faith in God. She made so many beautiful lap quilts for family and friends as well as donating many to the MCC thrift store. She always had some sewing, knitting or embroidery project on the go up until a few months ago when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She cared deeply for her family, and we will treasure our many memories of her.
Special thanks to the doctors, nurses and staff at Riverview Health Centre and at St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care, the Manitoba Palliative Care Program, the home care workers and Dr. Hebbard and staff at the Breast Health Centre.

So sorry to hear of "Aunt Susan"'s passing. My mom, Gertrude Shore (Wall) was a cousin to Susan and I always knew her as "Aunt Susan". Memories I have are of picking raspberries in her large garden and playing shadow tag with the cousins under the yard light. Years later when I had my first baby Susan gave me a lovely quilt with embroidery, so thoughtful of her! She had a kind and gentle spirit and I know my mother was very fond of her. I like to imagine them catching up with one another in heaven. Condolences to the family. Julie - Posted by: Julie Friesen (Shore) (Second Cousin one removed?) on: Apr 18, 2022

Deepest sympathy to the family, especially George. So sorry I could not attend funeral. I only found out about her passing after. It hit me hard as I did not expect it so soon after seeing her. I miss her. She was my last connection to my ancestors. We are enjoying the blankets she made, and I remember her every time I see mine, If the Covid restrictions are finally gone, I hope to see you all at a family gathering.
