April 14th, 1982 – October 1st, 2018

Susana, 36, of Kamloops, BC, passed away peacefully in the afternoon of October 1st, 2018 at Kamloops Hospice with her family by her side.

Susana was born on April 14th, 1982 in Queretaro, Mexico. Her family, originally from El Salvador, migrated to Canada in 1983 where she officially became a Canadian citizen in 1987 and spent the majority of her life in Kamloops, BC.

Susana is survived by her partner, Cody Shmoorkoff, her children, Royce and Arely, her parents, Nelson & Maria Marin, her siblings, Nelson Jr. and Brenda, and many other family members and friends in both Canada and El Salvador who will miss her tremendously.

Susana was best known for her sense of humour and personality, her eclectic taste in music and movies, her dedication to those around her, her artistic ability, and her talent for photography. Susana had a sense of adventure and never missed an opportunity to travel; whether it was a road trip within Canada or the US, or international travel to countries including Belize, Egypt, and the Netherlands. Her greatest joy, however, was being a parent.

We would like to thank family, friends, and the community for their never-ending support during Susana’s journey.

A celebration of life will be planned for the spring or summer of 2019. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
