It

unexpected and sudden passing of Susan Claire Botten, Monday December

Sue
leaves behind her husband of 48 years, Don Botten; her two sons, John
F Lindsay-Botten (Vanessa) and Dr David L Botten (Dr. Lori Ann Wong);
son-in-law Dennis Atwell, all of Halifax, N.S. along with six
grandchildren; Isabel, Mariella, Barrett, Kate, Mia and Allie who were
all her cherished joys.
Also left to mourn the loss of their big sister, are her brothers;
Ralph W Macdonald (Jean-Anne), Colin L Macdonald (Glenys) and Ian A
Macdonald (Wendy) and sister in law Opal Macdonald.
Sue’s father David C Macdonald,
his brother Dr Glen Macdonald, her « Special » Auntie Claire,
after whom she was named, along with many cousins, nieces and nephews
will all feel the giant hole in our family fabric left by Sue’s
passing.
Sue
was predeceased by her brother Stuart, March 2016, her daughter Karen,
July 2016 and her mother Marion, July 2018.
Sue
was the oldest child and only daughter of Marion (Withrow) Macdonald
and David C Macdonald and was born in Springhill, N.S. on August 11,
1947. Sue was the big sister to four younger brothers moving with Mom
and Dad from Springhill, NS. to Moncton, NB. to Saint John, NB. and
then finally back to Riverview, NB. in 1960. Sue graduated from the
1st graduating class of Riverview High School

where she forged many great life long friendships.

and Don were married in 1970 and raised their family for 12 years in
Scarborough, ON, before moving back to Riverview.
Sue
was always the organizer, cheerleader and support staff for many, many
family functions and gatherings as well as High School and Nursing

nature are legendary with all who knew her. She will be greatly and
dearly missed.
