I met Sue in 1979 as a 13 year old travelling alone to Canada from Liverpool in the UK to visit my family living in Ontario.  Sue was Nanny to Andrea and Alison my cousins.    We wrote letters and corresponded for a number of years after this.  She was a wonderful loving person.  Her Christian faith shone through her life.   I feel so sad for the families loss of such a wonderful woman.  It was heart warming watching the service and seeing the photos.  Thank you Sue for those cherished memories I have from my 3 week stay in Ottawa in 1979.  Sue, may you rest in peace and rise in Glory.  Thoughts and prayers with all the family. ... may you know God's presence and peace at this sad time.  God Bless, Gill

I met Sue in Ottawa 48 years ago when were English nannies and have kept in touch ever since seeing one another when we could due to other commitments we had in our lives. Sue was a very dear friend, we went to church together in Ottawa. Sue played Guitar on some occasions at Sunday services which was always inspiring, we played basketball for the church which was fun and supported the Festivities.
Sue will be missed by all of us especially her friends family as that was her world. You are now with our Lord and Saviour who will keep you safe and now out of pain God bless you and will miss you so much.

Sue and I meet as English nannies working in Ottawa. we worked close to each other in the same neighbourhood. We would enjoy our days off, in the city hanging out together and with our other nanny friends making memories. Eventually, we both married and moved on with our lives. Sue moved to Vancouver and I moved to Montreal, some time later I eventually, moved to Australia, with my husband and started a new life with our three young daughters.
Over many year's we kept in touch. Sue was very good sending wonderful Christmas letters, with lovely photos of her growing family. We corresponded our whole lives and over time, I visited Sue in Vancouver on several occassions during all those year's and we always  had a great time.
The past 3 year's since retiring, Myself and my husband stayed with Sue and Rich, twice in their lovely home and we had the best time together.
I will miss Sue very much, having been part of her life for so long. 
Sue, was always a caring, loving, kind friend, with so many wonderful qualities. I will always remember her. R.I.P Sue, love from your old nanny friend Lynne Melbourne Australia.

We were very saddened to hear about Sue.
May the memories of Sue, help you through this most difficult time. 
Our deepest condolences from Glenda, Denis Serena and Family.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I met Sue when I was attending Brentwood Park back in the 2000's before I left to pursue ministry. It was good to see Sue last year when I visited her church during my sabbatical. She came up after the service to greet me and just like when I was at BPAC, she greeted me with her beautiful smile and her warm personality. She remembered my wife and son's names and asked about them. What a good memory. 

My prayers are with Rich, Chris, Jillian, Allyson, and Christina as they navigate this difficult time. May the peace of Christ be with each of you and especially during those upcoming family gatherings where Sue's physical presence will be especially missed.

Blessings,

Bill

Really enjoyed our times together and not just lunches and dinners but also cheering on England in the 2026 World Cup!  Sue was a huge soccer fan. Will be missed and never forgotten!

Our monthly dinners together were fabulous and  Sue really enjoyed going out and if salmon was on the menu 90% of the time salmon was chosen!  And it better be served hot or back it goes!
