I was heavy hearted to learn of Susan's passing. My sincerest condolences to Jim, Sharon and Paul, especially. I remember all of you well, although you may not remember me. Susan and I were great high school pals. We didn't stay in touch, but she has always, ever since, held a special and forever place in my heart and memories. She was such fun and we had wonderful times together chatting on the phone for hours and hours (until your mum would insist she hang up!) I still have a book of poetry (that I still reference) that Susan gave me in 1976, inscribed with thoughtful words that were so like her. May she rest in eternal peace and may God bless her eternal soul. She was a wonderful friend to me back in the day. I'm so proud to hear of her professional achievements. Well deserved Susan. And I think of you every October 5th—your birthday.

Susan was my principal at Daystrom. She was always very supportive of me and was extremely dedicated to the students. She will be missed! My thoughts and condolences go out to the family during this difficult time.

My sincere condolences to Susan's family and friends at this time. I knew and remember her as a kind and caring Administrator.

It was quite a shock to learn of her passing from our Board today.

May she rest in peace.

My family and I knew Susan professionally as Ms. Wrabko (aka The Pink Lady) because she was the Principal at my son's school - Lamberton Public School. Ms. Wrabko was always very positive, extremely passionate about student learning, cared deeply about the staff and students and highly encouraged parent engagement.

My son remembers that she loved to wear the colour pink! I remember her as a great educator!

May her soul rest in peace!

Praying that Susan's family and friends find comfort at this time.

Our condolences to the Wrabko family on the passing of Susan. Reading about her passing was such a shock for us.
Susan and I enjoyed a breakfast or dinner once in a while together. She loved to hear the “news” and hear about Terry’s and my recent travels. We travelled to Frankenmuth and Birchrun, Michigan for a shopping weekend.
She will be missed. Susan has left us all with good memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

We remember Susan from the Garner/Wrabko reunions at the Wrabko Farm with the Americans and Canadians, as our daughter said in her memory. So sorry for the loss to her family.

So many great accomplishments that Susan has acquired! She will be missed dearly!
What I remember mostly about Susan was way back when our Canadian & United States families would get together to celebrate our family reunions at The Wrabko Farm! What great times and fond memories! I will never forget those wonderful times!
Our condolences to Susan’s entire family!
Love,
Nelson, Donna, (Garner) (Ken & Marie’s oldest daughter), Nelson, Jr. & Hannah Turnage

I am so sad to hear of Susan’s passing. Susan and I became good friends in our high school years. We had countless hours of fun with our friends Sheree, Karen and Dave in the “passion pit” at the Blair homestead. Such wonderful times and memories. Sadly, Susan and I went on our separate life journeys. I can just imagine what an incredible administrator she would have been. To you her family I send my sincere condolences.

It is with sadness that I learned of Susan''s passing from a friend today. Forty five years have passed since our York Memorial days in high school and although our paths never crossed again there are people like Susan that were never forgotten. Maybe we'll meet on the other side.
