Sadly, Susan lost her battle with cancer. Throughout her journey she showed great courage with a positive upbeat attitude.
Susan lived life to the fullest even between her chemo treatments. She always had time to stop and chat with people during her walks and outings. She didn’t hesitate to share her smile with others, often adding a bright spot to their day like a ray of sunshine.
Susan is survived by her sister Marny [Sandy] Nassichuk, niece Erin Nassichuk [Matt] and great-nephew Emerson, her Uncle Vernon [Shirley] Butler and many close cousins. She was predeceased by her parents John Butler [1982] and Margaret McInnes [1998].
Although Susan had worked and volunteered at many places over the years, her favourite career was working with children. She spent many years working and volunteering at Cranberry Children’s Centre, where many friendships were made.
A special thank-you to all of Susan’s health team, who supported her on her journey: friends, support workers, Home Care nurses, doctors, nurses, nurse practitioner, oncology department, emergency room and the fourth floor nursing staff, as well as the BC Cancer Clinic. Without your help and awesome support and care for Susan, her journey would have been more difficult.
A celebration of life will be held in the spring of 2023. Donations can be made to the Terry Fox Foundation or the charity of your choice.
