Susan “Sue” Elizabeth Jennings

June 1, 1963 — August 7, 2021

June 1, 1963 – August 7, 2021

Susan “Sue” Elizabeth Jennings, died peacefully at home, with her family by her bedside, on August 7, 2021 after a valiant battle against cancer. Born on June 1, 1963 to John and Jeannine Jennings in Sudbury, Ontario; she was raised in Ottawa, Ontario and fulfilled her dream of moving to Calgary, Alberta where she spent her final days with her family.

Self-described as a “woman of many hats,” she loved sharing her gifts and talents. She always had a project on the go, whether it was renovating something around her home, working in her garden, or creating restaurant worthy meals for family and friends. There wasn’t much time for relaxing around Sue; her brother always said she woke up with running shoes on, ready to start her day.

She will be remembered most for her amazing laugh, her joyful heart, and her generosity towards those in need. Her faith carried her through life’s challenges, and she found her strength in prayer until her final breath. Most of all she was extremely loving; she always placed family first and her grandchildren were the light of her life.

Sue is predeceased by her father John and will be deeply missed by her mother Jeannine, daughter Chantal (Stewart), son Adam (Jolyne), siblings Kim, Pat (Via), and Charlene, her three grandchildren McKinley, Theodore, and Annabelle, along with her nieces and nephew Krista (Ian), Natasha, and Ryan, as well as all her extended family.

A Funeral Service was held at St Mary’s Parish in Cochrane, Alberta on August 12, 2021 at 10:00 am.

There will be a Celebration of Life held in Ottawa, Ontario at a later date.
