SUSAN ELIZABETH HEELIS

July 15, 1952 - October 18, 2023



It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Susan will be lovingly remembered by her surviving family; daughters Melanie (James), Shawna (Bill); grandsons Carson and Cole, Owen, and Erik, Kaiden and Ty; her brother Tim (Marisa) and her special niece Samantha (Warren). Susan was predeceased by her mother Adele, and her father Stanley Heelis.



Susan was the rock of our family. She was an intelligent woman who was comforting, selfless and always had the best advice for her loved ones. She has endless love and support for her closest friends. Susan was best known for her sense of humour, sarcasm, and quick wit; always bringing a laugh to the room. Susan enjoyed spending her summers out at the cottage with her family and friends. She enjoyed reading, watching sports and playing games. Susan was most proud of watching her grandsons grow into the wonderful young men that they have become.



She will be deeply missed by all that had the honour to know her, but the wonderful memories will live on forever. Respecting Susan’s wishes, there will not be a memorial service. The following is her wish to those who remain.

She is Gone



You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived

You can close your eyes and pray she will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember her and only that she is gone

Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what she would want; smile, open your eyes, love and go on
