Suzanne KNOWLTON

I have so many happy memories of Suzie! We were students in the same classes for 10 years, starting in 7th grade at Saint Francis, with Sister Gerard of the Cross. St. Mary's Academy was our next stop. We were both in the Special French classes and Suzie was the best student in the entire school, bar none. I was her campaign manager when she ran for school office; our theme was rockets and I can still picture Suzie with her headgear and cape! We laughed all the time! The most fun was on weekends, at Suzie's house on Sunset (my street, too). We'd hang out with Johnnie, Chris, Weezie, Michelle and Denise. K and I named our daughter Michelle (Michou) after Michelle! In the summer, we'd all be at the cottage and life was good. Claire was the kindest, friendliest hostess there was! Our prayers and our thoughts go out to you,and your children and grandchildren, Peter, and to all the sibs. With love,
Anne-Marie T. Finger Chicago

So sad to hear the news. I remember Mme Knowlton from my time at Elmwood. She was a powerful force, lending strength and spirit to all she did and all whom she met. I still fondly remember our Friday night ski outings. Nicole, you are in my thoughts.

My condolences.

I was very sad to hear the news. I remember Mme Knowlton well from when I was a student at Elmwood. She was very kind and cared very much for all the students she came in contact with, she was a wonderful person. My sympathies go out to her family.

I am so lucky to have been able to have spent my first years at Elmwood being mentored by such a wonderful woman. I will miss you Suzanne.

Mme Knowlton led students by example; by caring deeply for us, by believing in our capacities, and by challenging us to reach high, she brought out the best in each life she touched at Elmwood. I am very thankful to have known her. Merci, Mme Knowlton!

With all our IB friends I want to add my thanks for her gracious giving educational life that impacted not only children, but also we educators. IB Americas was better because she made it so.

I join Brian in raising a glass to your enthusiasm for... Oh so many things. The IB world will miss your presence. My very best to Peter.

Peter & family we have lost a very dear friend & summer neighbor. The Burnett Bay people will miss the many sounds of joyful laughter across the water while Suzanne was teaching the grandchildren to swim, dive, kayak,canoe & to fully enjoy their surroundings. We will miss her pleasant smile & her easy going presence. So long Suzanne we are fortunate to have known you. Gail & John

Suzanne, tu as été, es et seras toujours mon inspiration ...
Repose en paix grande et gente dame.

Goodbye my dear friend and mentor! I raise a nice expensive glass of white wine to the wonderful memories of you!
I will miss you...

Mme Knowlton will always be remembered as a wonderful, kind hearted, inspiring teacher who brought out the best in us during our Elmwood days. Sending our sympathy from the Piazza family

Dear Peter and Mich and Nicole,
I am saddened to learn of this and send my deepest sympathy. I want you to know that she was one of my best friends in the world and she will be so missed. I have so many lovely memories of her joy of life.
Love, Joanie

Suzanne was a good, good friend and valued colleague. My favorite memory was when she and I went to SEBIQ and hammered out an understanding that is still in effect. We will all miss her.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and am so sorry for your loss.

Such a wonderful teacher - I was blessed to have her care at a pivotal moment in life.

I am very saddened by this news, a great loss. I have vivid memories of Mme. Knowlton at Elmwood. I remember her energy and vitality, and leadership during our Friday night ski outings. My sincere condolences to the family. Mme. Knowlton will live on through the fond memories of her many students.

Nicole, and family, I'm so very sorry to hear this news. I remember Mme Knowlton as a wonderful, inspiring teacher, full of energy and zest for life. My sincere sympathy to you.

Dear Peter,
I'm sending you a gentle hug to help you through this difficult time. May you find all the strength and courage for the days ahead. You are always enclosed by my love, care and warm wishes.

Mme. Knowlton was a teacher full of integrity, values and morals which was present in her dedication to teaching students and helping them reach their potential in their studies. It was an honor to have been her student, and I vividly remember her never giving up on me, when it came to understanding a concept. She taught me to persevere and be strong.

Elmwood was fortunate to have her as a teacher.

Mme. Knowlton, thank you for all the great memories in Elmwood school. Prayers from Tokyo.

I am so, so sad to hear this. Mme Knowlton was a wonderful teacher and a lovely human being. I remember her hosting our Grade 13 final French class in her home. She made such a profound impact on us all, and I'm thankful to have known her.

I was so sad to hear of Mme. Knowlton's passing. She was my french teacher in Gr. 4, 10 and 11 as well as a wonderful guide throughout my leadership endeavours. She held the bar high so that I and my fellow students could aim to be the best. She truly was a wonderful leader and inspiration.

Dear Knowlton Family,
I worked at Elmwood with Suzanne in the 80s and remember her with warmpth and admiration. She was an inspired teacher and a friend to all. My smpathies to her family.

I was so sad to hear of Mme. Knowlton's passing. She was a beloved teacher of mine from my days at Elmwood, and I only recently learned that we lived around the corner from each other when I stopped at her house to trick-or-treat with my children this past Halloween. She was an incredible teacher and a wonderful person. My deepest sympathies go out to her family at this time.

Dear Peter,
It is with much sadness that we have learned of Suzanne's passing. Please accept our deepest condolences. May your memories sustain you in this time of sorrow.
