Susan White
June 24, 1946 - February 9, 2017
Susan left us peacefully on Thursday, Feb. 9, 2017. She was entirely surrounded by her loving family and all of her angels.
Susan spent her early years with her posse; “sister” Carol, Pat C., and Sandy S. in Medicine Hat. In 1962 the family packed up like the Clampetts, including Granny in the back seat and she, Sandy, Pat, Shelley, Mom & Dad, R.J. “Slim” and Anne Cook arrived in Winnipeg. Brother David stayed behind, having somehow dwelt in the basement for years; he may have been misplaced.
Susan worked for CTV and later as a producer in the Variety department of CBC TV. There, she worked with the likes of Graham Shaw and Bryan Adams and on numerous shows including the highly popular series, “Breakaway”. If you heard properly written English on any of those shows it was Susan’s doing; she was a master of the language and just had to correct grammatical errors, even if you didn’t want her to.
Susan loved classical literature, beautiful turns of phrase; and in comedy, the perfect line. We will so miss her raucous laugh. She cared so deeply for all of us and wanted for each of us to reach our full potential. We will miss you Sue, but feel your presence every day. Love you forever!
In lieu of flowers, Susan's family requests a donation in her name to the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation.
Loving spouse, Greg, grateful and devoted children, Michael, and Dayna and all the rest of our family express much gratitude for the efforts made by the loving and caring staff of the MICU unit who were wonderful, each and every one of them. This spring the family will gather in Medicine Hat to celebrate Susan’s life.
For just a moment
The colour left the rainbows
Dark clouds covered up the sun
Cold rain spilled from the sky
Then suddenly the sun returned
The most beautiful rainbow appeared
Children’s laughter filled the air
And the songs of beautiful birds perched in the trees
And I knew that you were still here with us
And I was filled with joy for all that you shared with me
For what now seems
Was just a moment
