Susan Brewer Obituary
After a lengthy battle with heart disease, Sue Brewer, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital with her family members by her side.
Sue will be lovingly remembered by Len, the love of her life and her husband of almost 55 years, elder son Laurel, daughter Brenda and younger son Will, daughter-in-law Nicole, and their two sons, Sue's adored grandsons, Nathan and Max. She is also survived by her brothers George Paterson of Vancouver and Bob Paterson (Susan) of Nakusp and their family. A devout Christian who was kind, loyal and thoughtful, Sue will never be forgotten by her enormous circle of church friends, former work and school friends and her neighbours in Heffley Creek.
Born in the small railroad community of Redpass in the North Thompson area, Sue moved to Kamloops with her family at an early age. She attended Allan Matthews Elementary School for her first six years of education, the brand new John Peterson Junior Secondary School with her Grade 7 and 8 peer groups in 1959-1961 and graduated from Kamloops Senior Secondary School in 1965.
Sue met Len on his mission from Arizona to Canada with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. They married in 1966 and made Kamloops their home where their three children were born. They moved to Tumbler Ridge in 1983 for work and resided there for nine years before returning to Kamloops, purchasing their forever home in Heffley Creek. About that same time, Sue pursued a satisfying career with the library at Thompson Rivers University. She retired after more than 20 years of service. The Brewers' happy retirement years of gardening and preserving the fruits of their labour, helping to run their church's Genealogy library together and spending quality time with family and friends were interrupted in 2020 by Sue's heart and lung problems that proved too great for her to overcome.
To honour Sue's wishes, no formal service will be held. No flowers, by request. Instead, please reflect on a happy memory of time enjoyed with Sue during her exemplary lifetime. Arrangements are entrusted to Drake's Cremation and Funeral Services.

Susan was my mentor at the TRU Library. I followed her like a shadow as I learned the role of Interlibrary Loans. I always admired her strong work ethic and great sense of humour. My condolences to her family
