Sue Joyce Morrison

Peacefully, on Monday, October 26, 2020, at the Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Mb., our dear mother went to join her Heavenly Father. She will always be remembered and honoured for the unconditional love she gave us all, her creativity and vivid imagination, her thoughtfulness and spiritual beliefs.

Sue was predeceased by her parents George and Gladys Smith, her brother Norman Smith and her beloved grandson James David McIntosh. She is lovingly remembered by her four children, Charlie McIntosh (Bernadette), Debbie Pratt (Leonardo), Sandra M. Coghlan (Robert), and Andrew Morrison (Denise); seven grandchildren, Pamela, Tamara, Natalie, Cailey, Evan, Morgan, and Matthew; and three great grandchildren, Megan, Abigail and Michael; loving brother Eugene Smith; and many extended family and friends.

Sue was born in Toronto, Ontario on January 28, 1937. She began her family in Toronto and then moved out west to Calgary. Then onto Winnipeg where she raised her children. Mom always had a soft spot for her hometown of Toronto and remained a “Torontonian” in her heart. Family was the focus for mom; family get-togethers, birthday celebrations, and weddings were the “highlights” of her life. Mom was very strong in her Christian faith and it showed with the love and care she provided to her family and friends. Sue was a proud member of Saint James Lutheran Church where she sang in the choir, taught Sunday school, and was an active member in the LWML for many years and made a lot of special friends there. She went on a tour to Israel “The Holy Land,” Egypt, Greece and Germany in 1983. It was an amazing trip! Mom loved travelling to Australia, Victoria, BC and Lake of the Woods to spend time with family.

Sue also enjoyed sewing, arts and crafts, music and reading the Bible, Agatha Christie novels and the daily newspaper. Until she was unable to do so because of her macular degeneration. Mom faced many adversities in her life but handled it all with class and grace. She was very proud of her family’s accomplishments and was always there with kind words of genuine praise.

Mom was much loved and will be truly missed.

A heartfelt thank you to our sister Sandi, for the extra care and loving attention she gave our mother throughout her life. That is something we all deeply appreciate. Thank you as well to the staff at The Westhaven and Grace Hospital for all their kindness and care of our mom.
