Susan is survived by her loving husband, Bill, children Corinne (Arnold) Tacey, of Fort St. John, and Rod (Debbie) Wray, of Haiti, as well as grandchildren Carly (Eylar), Christie (Dan), Tim, Kara, Katie, and great-grandchildren Wyatt, Sawyer, and Ellyanna.

Susan was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Mary Malcolm, and her sister Elizabeth.
Susan was born in Vancouver, BC, on April 9th, 1937. When she was a child, her family moved to Pender Harbour, where they established a farm at Churchill Bay on the Francis Peninsula. Susan and Bill were married on December 15th, 1956. Susan and Bill moved to Terrace, then to Kamloops, then years later, they returned to Terrace and bought the exact house they had lived in previously. Eventually, they retired and returned to Kamloops.
Susan was a devoted wife, mother, sister and friend. She loved her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, and always had gifts and cards ready for everyone’s birthdays.
She loved gardening, canning and preserving, baking, and sewing. She was an avid reader of regional history and local newspapers. Susan was active in her church and attended services faithfully. She loved animals and drives in the country, providing there was no snow on the roads!
We will miss her dearly and she will be lovingly remembered
A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00pm on Thursday, November 26th, 2015, at First Baptist Church.
