At Jessica’s House residential Hospice on Friday February 9, 2024. Susan Drew in her 76th year. Survived by her son Craig and many dear and close friends. Susan spent her early childhood migrating across England in a very small caravan, finally coming to rest in a quintessential cottage in Bedfordshire. After her father returned from working in Indonesia they settled in Newfoundland for a few years and then to Sarnia. After finishing High School, Susan attended WLU for 1 year and then graduated from Western University.
Susan is on the road again.
At Susan’s request, there will be no funeral home visitation or service. A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. Cremation has taken place. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Bayfield’s Forgotten Felines ([email protected]) gratefully acknowledged.

It was great to have met Susan on our walk in the park and many visits next door.
She was a lovely lady and always ready to help out. Sorry to see you leave this earth so soon. Rest in peace my friend.

Susan and I shared a love of gardening and we looked forward to our annual summer road trips to check out the plants. Susan has educated me over the years about the various plants and their habitat. I was always amazed at her vast knowledge and excellent memory. We enjoyed our monthly jaunts to the Horticulture meetings as well. I shall miss my dear friend of 33 years, and will think of her fondly when I am out in the garden. xoxo

I have so many wonderful memories of Sue over the years. We became reacquainted at Western University when our boys were toddlers and stayed in touch over the last 50 years . When I made my annual trek home to Sarnia from California, we always met for large French fries and Diet Coke under the bridge ! The American politics over the last few years resulted in many animated conversations to say the least! Sue was also my “go to person” for a good book suggestion. I’m so happy to have met her best friend Sue and many other close friends while I was with Sue at her home recently. Sue was loved by many and I’m happy to say I am part of this group. ❤️

Well Susan, the debates, thrift shopping, yard sales, lunches, games, wing nights, and the laughter will always be treasured memories. But most of all, your friendship. Rest in peace my dear friend.

Lots of years in our friendship and mostly filled with laughter although her crying started it all. A stop on Howard Street to chat allowed me to walk her over to Mildred’s for an introduction “Susan wants to buy your house”. She did, we renovated it with Susan on hand and made it hers. A quick visit just a short while ago and then the news of decline and passing. So quick but no longer in pain and that’s a blessing. I will write a eulogy and hopefully give it at the Celebration. Farewell, shall miss our visits. Ken

I came to know Susan later in her life, when I came to Pine Lake, where she had a caravan. She always made the best margaritas!!! We became golfing buddies, going out on Sunday mornings ahead of the crowd! I’m sorry she was taken from us too soon, but her pain is now over and she’s in a better place now! Rest in peace, friend.

I will miss your strong will & opinions – I always enjoyed both – especially when we were on the same page!
I will remember our last visit shortly before you left us and I was honored that you asked me to assist in finding your beloved Winston a new home. We did good and he is settled in. But like us he will miss you always I will never see a little “Shih Tzu” without a smile in my heart while thinking of you. Until we meet again.

Susan was a great friend. I will miss our lunches together (mostly cooked by Susan!), our Bayfield walks, our many conversations and the ease of our friendship. I am grateful to Bayfield’s Forgotten Felines for their assistance in helping find a new home for Susan’s beloved cat Winston – he will continue to live in the manner to which he had become accustomed! It gave her peace of mind to know he was taken care of. Thank you to Susan’s long time friends Sue and Ann for providing her with love and care in her final days at home. She truly is ‘on the road again’.

I loved my friend so much. We had a lot of adventures along the way. She loved to thrift shop and find treasures to add to her collection. She had lots of wonderful friends who supported her to the end. Thank you to all of you for being there for her. I know it meant the world to her.

Susan was a good friend. I will miss our lunches (mostly Susan doing the cooking), our walks, our discussions, and most of all our friendship. I am grateful to Bayfields Forgotten Felines for helping Susan’s beloved Winston find a new home. He meant so much to her and she was at peace knowing he will continue to be cared for in the manner in which he became accustomed! Special thanks to her longtime friends Sue and Ann for providing so much care and love in her final days at home.
