Suzanne was also a founding member of the Sydney North Saanich Yacht Club and was reciprocating secretary for many years.

Dr. Gord Zacharias and staff. Special thanks to her good friends Marj and Phil and all others who lent a hand these last few months. Suzanne never dwelt on her illness, preferring to remain busy with a cheerful outlook.
Goodbye Suzi, your indomitable spirit and beautiful smile will live on in our hearts. The Eagles "It's Your World Now' is how she would like to be remembered.

While my Mum (Janet Faucher, née Bird) was in the VGH for that lengthy stay before being transferred to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital last year, cousin Suzanne visited her once a week and kept her spirits up. Ever thoughtful, ever kind & full of humour -- Suzanne is very much missed. Heaven has gained an angel. Heart-felt sympathy to Erin, Sean, Kevin, and family.

I to would like to send my condolences to Suzanne's family. If there can be a happy memory for me, it is that your father Suzanne, brought me into this world in 1950 in sleepy McBride. GOD bless and ‘sleep well' Suzanne.

Suzanne inspired me with her love of reading and many varied interests. I enjoyed listening to her talk - she was well versed in so many areas and could always interject an intelligent, witty or humorous comment. She was always a "presence".
Suzanne and I worked together at Municipal Affairs many years ago.
Blessings and Love to her family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Suzanne at the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, and was always uplifted by our interactions. I'm sorry that she ended her time with ill health, especially since she was such a vital force in our lives.

My sincere condolences to all your family. I retired from the Min of Mun Affairs soon after your Mum and Grandmother. I saw her in the grocery store a few months ago and we had a nice chat. I am sorry to hear of her
passing and sorry that I will be away for her service.
