Susan Harradine Obituary

Published by Vancouver Sun and/or The Province on Nov. 18, 2012.
HARRADINE, Susan (Sue) Elizabeth
November 27, 1966 to November 6, 2012
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we say goodbye to Sue after a long and brave battle with breast cancer. Sue faced her final challenge the same way she lived her life, with strength, courage, determination, gentle but strong, thoughtful and serious, and with her great sense of humour. She will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her parents Gloria & Walter (Bud) Harradine, brother Brent, nephews Gage and Riley, and niece Jessica. Sue was predeceased by her brother David. Sue also leaves behind a strong and truly remarkable network of cherished friends. Sue was a dedicated call-taker and dispatcher with almost 20 years of service with E-Comm. She started her career with the Richmond RCMP in May 1993 and transitioned to E-Comm in January 2003. E-Comm was a big part of Sue's life and she was very well known for her passion and dedication to emergency services. Sue was born in Surrey BC but loved the North Shore and called it home. Sue adored life and had an amazing passion for dogs and the outdoors. She was also extremely passionate about her Vancouver Canucks! Sue was known for her humour, her big laugh, her keen insight and her huge heart. Although there are many special people in Sue's life, she asked that a few extra- special people be thanked for all their friendship, support and love. They include (but are not limited to) the incredible group of people at Callanish, the amazing staff at the Lion's Gate Hospital Cancer Clinic and friends Laura, Marlene, Cathy and Turtle. You all made Sue feel so welcome, supported and cared for. A very special thank you to Dr. Paul Sugar for his tender and compassionate care. A memorial service to celebrate Sue's life will be held Saturday, November 24th at 2pm at the Lonsdale Quay Hotel Ballroom. Sue has asked that her ashes be scattered at Quarry Rock in Deep Cove in the spring (date TBA). In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Sue's memory to the Callanish Society: www.callanish.org or(604) 732-0633.
Sue – we will always hold you in our hearts and honour you with our memories.

Sue even though we have only spent 5 weeks with you over the last 12 years those times have given us both some very special memories( and some great hangovers!). You always welcomed us with a warm heart and open arms. Your sense of humour and love for life will stay with us forever. Although the miles between are vast you are always in our hearts and thoughts. We will meet again some day but in the meantime hears to you with a glass of red. Now go kick some heavenly butt. All our love forever marie ska England, rachael aka princess lala.

New Years Eves and Canucks games will not be the same without you, Sue. We'll miss you singing "Red Solo Cup" (badly!) and our friendly arguments about goalies and centres.

Sue,
I'm sorry I didn't make it in time to be by your side. I am forever grateful for the 8.5 years we had together. We enjoyed a lot of good times; camping,tubing, hiking, and hanging out with the love of our life: Kona! You were there for me and my mum when she fought her own battle with Bone Cancer and after her passing in 2004. I can't thank you enough for soo many great memories. I only wish we could have more. A piece of my heart went with you when you left. I will NEVER forget you; your laugh, your dedication to RCMP, your love for dogs, your love for life!
I am glad you are no longer suffering and I hope you are enjoying a beverage or two watching the Canucks win the Stanely Cup!!
You will be in my heart and thoughts forever!
Love you,
Nic and Kona (sends her licks)

I believe this is how Sue lived her life:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

Miss you soo much
