My condolences to Walter, Ruth and Evan and their families on the passing of Susan. Growing up on Grosvenor Avenue we lived next door to Aunt Mary, Uncle Roy (brother of my grandmother), Susan and Rowland so they were very much part of my earlier years. It was nice to have family next door. Susan and Walter saw a fair bit of my Mom and Lock until my mother's passing - I am forever grateful for that. Rest in peace Susan. - Posted by: Bridget Lewis (Second cousin) on: Nov 12, 2022

I want to extend my deepest sympathies to Walter, Ruth, Evan and their families as well as all of the extended family and her friends. I grew up with Ruth and spent a lot of time in and around their home as a child. Sue always had a smile, hug and warmth about her. As and adult, I enjoyed our visits and phone chats. She will be deeply missed. Rest in peace Sue. - Posted by: Lisa Dudko (Friend) on: Nov 09, 2022

I am very sad to learn of Sue's passing. She was an amazing nursing instructor and helped me a great deal during my years at GGH School of Nursing. She was always positive, humorous and liked to see students excel. I send my sincerest condolences to Sue's husband and children.

I had the opportunity to work with Sue in nursing education and also share a friendship with her outside of work. She was very intelligent, hard-working, caring and compassionate. A wonderful role model for all! My sincerest sympathy is extended to Walter and family. - Posted by: Carolyn Vogt (Friend and colleague) on: Nov 06, 2022

I am deeply saddened to learn of Sue's passing. My most sincere condolences to Walter and family. We worked together in the 70S at the Grace School of Nursing. I fondly remember reconnecting with Sue at the last teacher reunion. - Posted by: Maureen Coe (Co-worker / friend) on: Nov 05, 2022

I was saddened to hear of Susan's passing. I first met Susan as a parent of Ruth and Evan who were two of my students (Physical Education). She always took time to speak with me and was very interested in their progress. Years later, I reconnected with her at Grace Hospital where she was a nurse for my father who spent his last months in Grace. Again. she took time to ask about my family and proudly spoke of her loved ones. - Posted by: Neil Sander (Education acquaintance) on: Nov 04, 2022
