Susan DAWSON Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved cousin at the age of 59. Susan will be lovingly remembered by her Great Aunt Rose Stringer, and the Stringer family as well as her cousins. Susan was predeceased by her mother Ramona Dawson. Susan Dawson was born April 24th in Saskatoon and resided there until her untimely death. She was an only child to her mother Ramona and Jack Dawson. Susan was an English Professor at the University of Saskatchewan with a PH.D and also a private tutor. Susan will be remembered as a superior teacher, with exceptional English and Drama knowledge. She was beautiful and full of poise and grace, jovial and humorous. She was a cat enthusiast and loved her cats very much. We will miss her dearly. Memorial donations in Susan's memory may be made to the Saskatoon SPCA (5028 Clarence Avenue South Grasswood, SK, S7T 1A7). A Graveside Service for Susan will be held at 11:00 a.m. at Woodlawn Cemetery (meet outside the main gates for 10:50 a.m. before processing in) on Wednesday, January 14, 2015.
The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want:
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures,
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul, He leadeth me in the
paths of rightousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
For Thou art with me

Susan touched my heart and my chocolate labs heart. We will miss her. Bruinan already misses her pets and cat food treats. We chatted on walks and on campus - we both worked at STM. Rest in peace sweet soul.

So deeply saddened to hear of Susan's passing and so grateful to have known her through her work at STM College and the Univ. of Sask.. I shall always remember the wonderful conversations we had and then she would ride away on her bike waving goodbye and saying , "Pray I am not pedalling into a strong wing at my age, but I do have my Hollywood glasses on for the sun in my eyes." So many times I had to help her search for those sunglasses as she had a habit of misplacing things. I will miss seeing your smiling face.

I taught with Susan at First Nations University. She was a wonderful co-worker with an equally wonderful sense of humour. She was also absolutely brilliant - I remember her helping me think through my Masters. She was a beautiful kind soul. My deepest condolences to her family and loved ones.
