Susan had a beautiful smile, gentle demeanor and will be missed by all she touched.
The family would like to thank all the staff at Pine Falls Hospital for the care and compassion they gave Susan.

I had the priviledge to work nights with Susan for over 20 years. She would always come to work with a smile on her face and greet everybody with a how was your evening or how was your night, dependin on which shift she was on, as she worked days and nights. Each resident got acknowledged by her before she started her day. I don’t think there was any staff member or Sunnywood resident who never got a “Susan” hug. She was one of a kind and I miss her so much. Rest easy my friend. I will always remember you when I am working in my garden. And when the gladiolas are in bloom. My sincere condolences to Al, Adam, Vanessa and family. And also to the Pepin and Hladki families

Susan was such a beautiful person. She was the first to support all the staff whenever an encouraging BBC was needed. She was very comforting to me many times. Susan encouraged me to go into health care aide training as I graduate in Feb I will think of all her kind words of encouragement.
Rest in peace my friend and co worker.
You will be forever missed by Sunnywood Manor staff.
Peace be with you and strength to the family.

Celena Frayne
My heart is heavy and its very difficult to go to work since her passing…. as we are all very sad and hurting.
I worked with her for over 25 years! Susan was my preceptor when I was a HCA and she taught me how to survive on the tough days! Susan was compassionate and caring and we always made the best of every day. Then when I took my nursing she was always so supportive and showed me that she was proud of me with her caring eyes and genuine smile! She called me Celena Beana and we just worked very well together. Plus at harvest time she always brought the staff fresh veggies from her garden that she worked on with love! Greatest person inside and out! She will be missed dearly everyday!
My deepest condolences to Adam, Alan and family!!
Irene Fountain

Dear Alan, Adam and the Pepin & Hladki families,
We were deeply saddened to hear that Susan had passed. As we read through the obituary and heartfelt tributes we know that she was blessed with the strength and ability to shine brightly in our world.
“There are two ways of spreading light – to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it”.
Holding you close in thought and prayer at this difficult time.
