Susan began working for Bell Canada in Chapleau and moved on to Sudbury and Ottawq in managerial positions, retiring in Ottawa. Following retirement she move to Thunder Bay then relocated back to her roots in Chapleau. When her health became an issue she was helped greatly by family and childhood friends in Chapleau to travel for medical treatment both to Timmins and Sudbury.
As her health declined she moved back to Thunder Bay where treatment was more readily available to her. Susan passed away peacefully just as the sun was coming up on a new day and a new beginning.
