Obituary of Susan Jane THOMSON

August 16, 1955 – London, Ontario November 16, 2016 – Calgary, Alberta Susan “Sue” Thomson beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister passed away in her sleep, on November 16, 2016 at the age of 61 years. The speed and extent of her illness was a surprise, even to those who knew her best. But it was not a surprise that she chose not to linger once the prognosis was clear. Sue believed in quality of life with her whole heart. Sue spent the last years of her life doing what she loved. She travelled the breadth of the world from Australia to Ireland, and her career was spent helping others do the same as a travel agent. She would not have traded this for anything in the world. Sue was fearless and never backed down from a cause she believed in. She had a particular affinity for animals and never turned away a cat or dog in need. Sue is survived by her husband Doug; sons, Andrew and Ian and his wife Robyn; her sisters, Carol and Julie; brother, Peter; and mother Norma. She will be missed dearly, but we take comfort in the fact that she has been re-united with her father, Jim, whom she loved very much.
