Suzanne was born in Barber's Bay and raised in South Porcupine. She was a precious and devoted grade 1 teacher for 33 years at St. Jude's School in Porcupine, who dedicated her entire life to her grade 1 angels and to her family. Everyday of her life Suzanne touched the lives of everyone she knew. From the onset of her illness, she never gave up. Through her pain, at any given time, she continued to put everyone before her. Although the last 3 years were spent fighting cancer, her devotion to her faith, family, friends, and colleagues never once altered. She would not allow her sickness to take control of her life. The support of her husband and Matante Aurore will never be forgotten.
