We are saddened to announce the passing of Susan Jersak on January 2, 2025.
Susan was predeceased by her two sisters Marguerite and Jane, and her brother Paul. She is survived by her son Peter; his wife Rocio; her much-loved nieces Beverly, Karol and Jennifer; and nephews Paul, Tim, Ben and Chris.
Susan was born in Toronto but moved to Powell River in the summer of 1980. During her time in Powell River, she made many friends. Susan was instrumental in bringing many projects to fruition. Life Cycle Housing, the Inland Lake Trail, Model Community Project, WOW (Work Opportunities for Women) and the BC Festival of Arts, are just some of her many accomplishments.
She was an avid lover of the arts and was a member of the Powell River Choir. She actively supported the local art community and purchased many paintings from local artists. Although she lived on a small stipend, she regularly donated to charities.
Susan was a very spiritual person who believed everyone had their own path to follow to spiritual harmony and enlightenment.
A celebration of Susan’s life will happen at a later date.
