Susan died peacefully on April 14, 2015, with her loving family at her side.
Susan was born at the Royal Jubilee Hospital on September 14, 1950, raised in Victoria, and educated at Strathcona Lodge School of Shawnigan Lake, Oak Bay High School and at the University of Victoria.

Dear Ross, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. I just found out, and feel so badly for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Ross,
Art and I were very sad when we heard your Susan had died. Cancer is so devastating.
I remember Susan well when she used to pop into your dad and Marg’s place next door on Johnstone Road, particularly around the time I was typing your thesis. How the years have flown.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences.
Art and Lorna Maxwell
