(nee Major)
April 8, 1942 - May 20, 2014
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Susann Claudia Gordon of Kamloops, B.C. at the age of 72 years.
Susann was born to Ernie and Evelyn Major on April 8, 1942, in Port Alberni, BC. Early childhood years were spent in Bainbridge, and Beaver Creek in the Port Alberni area. She lived on Elizabeth Street in Port Alberni until her marriage. Susann chose hairdressing as an occupation; studying in Nanaimo where she met her future husband, Robert Gordon (Bob). They were married in Port Alberni in a beautiful ceremony on June 30, 1962. Susann and Bob moved to Victoria shortly after their marriage; and later moved their home to Kamloops, BC.
Susann and Bob's family grew to four children - Shelley, Karen, Donna Sue and Robert. They had many happy times as a family, and Susann was a loving mother who sewed, cooked, and knitted for her family. Susann had a fantastic sense of humour, and enjoyed laughing and teasing the people she loved. Her kindness extended to all family members. She and Bob took in many of their relatives for various periods of time when they needed a helping hand. Their home was an open and generous one.
Susan is survived by her devoted husband, Bob; and three children - Karen Marion of Kamloops, BC.; Donna Sue Hambley of Comox, BC. and Robert Gordon of Kamloops, BC. She is also survived by eight grandchildren: Christine, Sarah, Brandon, Dakota, Jeremy, Karissa, Ethan, Jaden; one great-grandson Dante: sisters: Jean Boyko (Al) of Port Alberni; Donna McNabb (Lyle) of Grand Forks, BC and Lori Snodgrass (Rod) of Big Lake, BC.
Susann is predeceased by her daughter Shelley Jackson and brother Terri Rudd.
