Susan was a beloved mom, gramon, sister, aunt, great aunt, cousin, swim mom, market mom and dear friend too many.

Susan was born in Winnipeg in 1951. She attended school at Daniel McIntrye where she was a part of the volleyball, basketball and track team, as well as the choir. She went on to pursue a degree from the University of Manitoba. During this time, she met many lifelong friends that were still by her side in the end. 

A few years later Susan met the love of her life Jim and created a beautiful family together. Her and Jim along with their 4 children loved making memories by the pool which made her fall in love with swimming leading to many years on the pool deck. 

Through Susan’s many careers from airlines, soil testing, to social work, she met many people that changed her life and became not only friends but family. After losing her husband, Susan moved to BC and started the next chapter of her life. From Peachland to Westbank, Susan made many more lifelong friends whom she travelled with, worked with and made lifelong memories with. Susan’s passion in BC was her love for produce. From her early years learning with her father at Talarico Fruits to spending the last 10 years of her life at Paynter’s Fruit Market. Susan became known as the “market mom”. As a family we are forever grateful for the love and support the market family gave her.

Thank you to BC Cancer Care and the Acute stroke unit at the HSC for their love and care during this difficult time.

Donations can be made to BC Cancer Care and/or the Manitoba Heart and Stroke Foundation.

A Celebration of life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at the Winnipeg Winter Club located at 200 River Ave. 

Susan’s family kindly requests that all of her friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour her memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
