Our hearts are collectively broken but we take comfort in knowing she is with her Lord to whom she has spent her life in His service.

Sue was one of the first people I met at Wesley-Knox, and I’m so thankful for that! She was always warm and inviting, and interested in how my children were doing. She smiled and laughed like someone who loved life. I looked for her often on Sundays just to be able to say hello. I’m going to miss her a great deal. My sincere condolences to the family.
Dear Steven, Laura and families.
Our sincere condolences on your Mom’s passing. May it be a comfort to you knowing she is pain free and with the Lord, whom she deeply loved. May your memories sustain you and your faith strengthen you in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
Grant & Debbie, Lauren, Gail
Laura,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. May happy memories help you through this difficult time.
Laura, I am SO sorry. Your mom was sincerely my ‘favourite mom’ of our crowd when we were young. She was happy, energetic, fun, genuine, and devoted to you and Steven. I have always remembered her fondly, and always will. Big ((hugs)). Colleen.
My thoughts are with you Laura and your family. My deepest sympathy.
Rest in Peace

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
It is with deep sadness that we witness the passing of a very wonderful person who has been devoted to her family and friends. I have only known Sue for a short time but have learned much about her from our conversations and her friends. Sue will be sorely missed.
Laura and Denis, (and all other members of the Mennill family), I’m so sorry to hear about your mom’s death. While I only met her one time, she was incredibly friendly and positive. She must have been an amazing person to have raised the talented, cultured, kind and friendly person that you are Laura. I’m sure she was overjoyed when you met and married Denis, such a wonderful man. I’m sorry that your mom, clearly such a good person, had to suffer from such a terrible disease. My heart and thoughts are with you.
Sincere condolences on the loss of your mother — a lovely, fun-loving lady.

My deepest sympathy with the passing of your Mom. She was one of a kind and with her beautiful smile that would light up a room. I have known Sue for a number of years and she will be greatly missed. Heaven has gained another angel.

Steven and Laura, We were very saddened to hear of your mother’s passing. We have always exchanged family news by Christmas cards but we had no idea of her illness. We always loved her cheerful spirit and friendliness. Our deepest sympathy to you and your families. Bruce and Mia Gowdy
Steven, Laura & families,
I have known Sue since high school days at South. She has always been an optimistic person with a great sense of humour. She’ll be missed by so many. Our condolences to all of you.
Sue was always available at Wesley Knox when anything needed to be done. She was a kind and caring person. I hope you all, her family and friends, find comfort in knowing she is now at peace.
Sue is my sister and there were five of us in all. I remember the years when we all lived in California in the late 40’s and 50’s. Sue was closer to my age than the others. We were together longer than the rest, as the others got married. We had some difficult times back then when we lost both mother and father. Sue and I were in a foster home for 2 years, then Sue moved to London to live with our aunt & uncle. But there was some happy times also and I was glad we were together for those few years. She was my big sister and answered my questions when I did not know. So now she was back East alone with the other 4 in California. But 2 years later I moved to Cleveland, Ohio. So then we were both back East and were close enough to be able to keep in good contact during those 14 years. I was even there to give her away at her wedding. Later I moved to Arizona, and Sue had a family about that time. We still kept in good contact.
Sue told us a lot about her church and her involvement, and we enjoyed those conversations. She demonstrated a genuine joy in those activities. It was important to her.
Sue was genuinely loved and will be missed so very much.
Her loving brother and sister in Law,
James & Nancy Brown
Sue was my Aunt, my mother’s sister. Although Sue lived in Canada and we live in Oregon, she made the effort to come and visit every few years. We always looked forward to those visits knowing we would be entertained by Sue’s great sense of humor and her genuine love for life. Our family will miss her deeply and hold dearly all of the precious memories we have of her.
In Loving Memory,
Christine Cole
