SCOTT: Susan
Posted By On November 20, 2017 @ 12:00 AM In Goderich, Obituary | 21 Comments
Susan Scott, the love of my life, died beside me in her sleep early Monday morning, on November 20.
She loved Goderich, our home and her friends in the Glees, her book club, her Women’s Group, and SwimFit who embraced her sometimes outlandish behavior with open arms and loving hearts. She was a retired nurse who gave her all to her clients, who often came to Susan to remind her how much they felt loved. Her grandchildren Owen, Molly and Katherine brought her much joy as did her sons Ian, Andrew, and Peter. Katherine’s son Henry was our first great grandson.
Susan saw life both as a challenge and a joy. She stayed in touch with her childhood friends and her home town of Hudson, Quebec, travelling far and wide throughout the world, hiking in the Andes, and taking several voyages through the Mediterranean and the South Pacific.
A Celebration of Susan’s life will be held at McKay Centre, Goderich, on Wednesday November 29, 2017 between 1 and 3 PM. Please come and share your stories.
Cremation has taken place.




Remembering Susan who traveled through the passages of her life with such grace, joy and sharing. Love to you Michael, and to all her dear ones.
Oh Mike, I am shocked and saddened to hear of Sue’s passing. I will miss her wonderful smile and greeting every day at the Y. She was a wonderful woman and you were blessed to have had such a happy life with her with so many fond memories like you were telling me the other day. I am here for you any time you need me.Take Care my dear friend.
Mike, we are so sorry for your loss. Sue was always so positive and jolly. A joy to chat with and be around. She is leaving a large void in this world. Jo-Anne & Keith
Dear Sue’s husband and family – with sympathy and special thoughts of Sue – a very special part of our community – Sue’s professional gifts and personality – very special to many – and always remembered – Sincerely Cecelia
We will miss Sue so very much. She was my neighbor in the pool at Aquafit and we would chat and giggle all through the class. Sue would catch me up on all the happenings with the boys and their families and oh the stories she would tell. And then we sang with all our hearts at the Glees. Mike, I am so sorry for your loss. Andrew, Peter and Ian your Mom was one of a kind. Sharon Brown
Dear Mike, It broke my heart to hear the sad news of Sue’s passing. She was a light in this world. I always knew she would have a smile and say something to cheer me whenever we met. Will be thinking of your family. Please pass along hugs for me. Love, Cindy
So sorry to hear about Sue’s passing. She was certainly a bright light in this world. Our prayers and thoughts are with you Mike and all your family

Well, Sue, I picture you up there somewhere looking down on us with that big smile on you face. I hold many fond memories of our days in nursing school and especially after you and Mike were married and shared an apartment next to the one I shared with Sue Bissell Verdon and Greta Ughlen Hopkins. Those were the days, my friend! Although I have lived in the United States for many years, we have always kept in touch on an almost yearly basis. I have a special memory of having enjoyed a wonderful meal with you and Mike in May 2015 at the Wlllows Inn in Hudson. So long Sue, knowing you has been a wonderful journey.
My sincere condolences to you Mike, and to Ian, Andrew, and Peter. Additionally, heartfelt condolences to sister Helen and her family.
Bon voyage. You will be missed!
Love, Louise
Mike and family,Helen and John

She will be leaving such a void in your life! Cherish the memories – they’re yours forever and will keep her close to your heart. Sue will be missed by many, and remembered with love.

Shocking and very sad. Far too young to leave this world. Love to all who knew Sue and sat in her shining, happy presence. Hugely missed.
Dear Mike,
I was shocked when I heard about Sue’s passing, and so sad for you and your family. She certainly did have a smile that would make you smile along with her.
We wish that our loved ones could be by our side forever – Susan will live on, in our hearts.
Our thoughts are with you.
Dear Mike: What a shock to get the message about Sue’s death. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of such great loss. Sue was always up for adventure. I have warm memories from from mask-making, canoe tripping, to international travel to Peru and NM. She added energy and fun to any group whether it was serious process work or serious partying.
Michael and I send you our deepest condolences.
Much love,
Kathy
Dear Mike,
Ray and I have so many fond memories of both of you.You will go on but with a huge hole in your heart that hopefully over time will be filled with wonderful rememberances of Sue. You could not have found a more special life partner who gave such unconditional love and joy to all around her.
Our love to you and the boys and their families.
Love,Susan
We have loved getting to know Sue over the past several years at our family reunions. Her bubbly personality and caring soul will be remembered fondly along with her contagious laugh. Our heart-felt condolences to all..
Laurie, Brendon, Sadie, and Owen
Dear Mike, Ian, Andrew, Peter and all family and friends of Susan,
We are thinking of everyone today and celebrating Susan from many miles away. How we wish we could be there to celebrate with you. Today I am thinking of our great times together. Camping with the little Boler trailer when I was too small to remember how old I was, but old enough to remember the fun. Going to Jasper and seeing the sights as a teenager. Visiting Goderich not long after meeting Eeva, travelling together on our extended family honeymoon in Estonia, Sweden and Finland, congregating in Sherwood Park when our kids were just small and gathering all together just a few years ago with family in Florida. Susan had the ability of making our family reunions gel together and she brought so much fun to them with her cheeriness, great stories and wisdom.
Susan, you will be sorely missed and your memories greatly cherished.
Lots of love from all of us,
John, Eeva, Jasper and Oskar
To misquote Dickens…..we shared the best of times, we shared the worst of times, but, oh Sue, we shared such fun times. We cried with happiness, we cried with sadness and we laughed until the tears flowed down our cheeks. Thank you for those times.
Mike, Ian, Andrew, Peter, and your families, my thoughts are with you.
Dear Mike and family; I recently heard of Sue’s sudden demise and was very saddened. I have such fondness and good memories of our many times together those many years ago. When I moved to Saint Paul, MN to teach I lost track with many old friends, but remember, fondly, those times at the log house, the house sitting, the mens groups, the new years eves and the good fun had by all. It seems that John Lennon’s comment “Life is what happens when we are busy making other plans” becomes more clear as we age. I think our first meeting was when you and Caroline taught together back at Robertson Elem. in about 1975, if memory serves me. When I return home, next, to Guelph, I feel the need to make a pilgrimage to Goderich and will visit you. I wish you good energy as you move forward in life and hope you can cherish your many memories of your wonderful partner. My sympathies to you. All the best. Regards. Craig.
Mike & family — I’m so sorry for your loss. Sue was one of those people that even just being acquainted with was fun. She was so friendly & took time to have a conversation whenever we met. And I’ll always remember her hearty laugh. She loved life & she will be missed. May lots of happy memories comfort you at this difficult time. — Sincerely, Joanne
