A humanist, Susan attacked life seeking all its sensations as if every day were her last, her father having died at 41 and her brother at 33. An impecunious top student, she earned her knowledge in the school of hard knocks until graduating from Osgoode Hall law school and admitted to the Ontario Bar aged 36. From there, she tackled progressively more challenging contract projects until, tired of corporate glass ceilings and bureaucracy, she started her own business in training and development in Toronto and discovered a meeting of her talents and academic creative side in helping business owners and employees to develop their full potential.
Susan returned to employment as Director of a private college in Scarborough with immigrant students, but it was closed after a year. Weary of corporate Canada, she went to teach English and International Business Law at a private rural university near Quanzhou, Fujian, China and also Beijing Normal University in Zuhai, Guandong for 3 years, loving the Chinese culture and making great friends, while exploring Asia, before retiring to Collingwood, Ontario in 2007. There she volunteered for six not-for-profit organizations and did some management consulting while spending 10 winters in Mazatlán, Mexico where she taught English privately. She leaves relatives in Australia, South Africa, US and England.
Susan chose to end her lifelong adventure through MAID the day after her 79th birthday and was cremated. No memorial by request. Donations if you wish to www.dyingwithdignity.ca or to www.collingwoodhospital.ca, in desperate need of an MRI machine.
