Many friends were made while working at Hy’s of Canada, in Vancouver, B.C., and 30 years at Michelin Tire, Bridgewater. Her infectious laugh and smile will be remembered by all who knew her.

Many hours of labour were spent in her flower and vegetable gardens, which gave her great pleasure and enjoyment. Reading was her relaxing time. Susan enjoyed camping and going for drives. she travelled across Canada, from coast to coast, and also some of the U.S. After retirement, genealogy became part of her life as it filled her with excitement and gave her great pleasure to branch out on the family tree.
