Suzanne & Brittany Ronceray

Suzanne Marie Ronceray - passed away April 26, 2009 at the age of 43 years. Suzanne was born, February 25, 1966 in Estevan, Saskatchewan. She attended school at Westview, Estevan Junior High and Estevan Comprehensive from which she graduated. Suzie had many friends, but her best friend forever was Candace Gervais, who was there for her, in good times and not so good times. Thank you Candace and Barry. Suzie liked to play baseball as a child, which continued into her adult life. Slow pitch was the game, travelling around with her friends. She also played the flute in the junior high band. During her high school years she worked at the Woolco Store in the cafeteria. After graduating, she met Collin and they moved to Kitchener, Ontario for a period of time, then decided to move to Lethbridge, Alberta, where Collin had family. Collin and Suzie married on June 30, 1990. To this union three children were born: Brittany, March 28, 1990, Kyle, November 16, 1992 and MacKenzie, September 16, 1996. In September of 1996, Suzie was diagnosed with Melanoma. It was a devastating blow to all of the family. In the fall of 1997, the family moved to Estevan, where Suzie could be close to family and friends in her time of need. She had many surgeries for cancer, and recovered fully from them. She had a positive attitude and just had to be there for the kids. She was never too busy to help with homework, go to band concerts, hockey, whatever the kids were involved with. Suzie loved a real good rock-em, sock-em hockey game and could whistle louder than the referee. Suzie enjoyed life in good times and in bad. She was currently employed at St. Mary’s School as a teacher’s aid and lunch time supervisor. There are no words to describe the devastation we must endure. We will love her and miss her every day of our lives. Loved forever, Collin, Kyle, MacKenzie, Mom and Dad, Karen and Kerry and family, David and Gloria and family.

Suzanne is survived by her husband Collin, son Kyle, daughter MacKenzie of Estevan; parents Albert and Irene Daniels, Estevan, SK; brother David (Gloria) Daniels, Christopher and Melissa, of Oxbow SK; sister Karen (Kerry) Goudy, Keith, Stacia and Krista, of Estevan, SK; sisters and brothers-in-law Gisele and Mike Link and Joshua, of Lethbridge, AB; Colette and Don Hansen, Tyler and Tanya, Taber AB; Adele and Doug Benton, Craig and Kevin, of Burlington, ON. Predeceased by grandparents Joseph and Phyliss Schoff, and Charlie and Sophie Daniels.

Brittany Danielle Ronceray - passed away April 26, 2009, at the age of 19 years. Brittany was born March 28, 1990 In Lethbridge, Alberta. She was the first child born to Suzanne and Collin Ronceray and the first grandchild of Irene and Albert Daniels. She was always pleasant and made friends easily.

Brittany started school in Lethbridge, Alberta. When the family moved to Estevan in the fall of 1997, she attended Westview School. The following school year she attended St. John’s through grade school, then on to E.C.S. where she graduated in June 2008. She made lots of new friends at E.C.S. but her very special friend was Hailey Senchuk. They were almost always together-best buddies forever. “Home” was either at Brittany’s house or Hailey’s house, and Carrie was Brittany’s “mom” also. It was a very special friendship between the two families.

After graduation, Brittany went to live in Regina where she was taking a course in Early Childhood Learning at SIAST. A beautiful girl, her life over far too soon, but she will be with us always. Forever together, Brittany and her mom. God Bless you. Love Dad, Kyle, Mackenzie, Grandma and Grandpa Daniels, Karen and Kerry and family, David and Gloria and family, Josh Duncan and family.

Brittany is survived by her father Collin, brother Kyle, sister MacKenzie, grandparents Albert and Irene Daniels, Estevan; aunts, uncles, cousins, sweetheart Josh Duncan, very special friend Hailey Senchuk. Predeceased by grandparents, Henri and Therèse Ronceray.
