Suzanne Challice

Dear Christopher, James, Phyliss and Family: I am truly sorry for your loss. I had not heard about Suzanne's passing earlier. She was a joy to work with at Wal-Mart. I loved the pictures she would show me, that she had completed. She was a very talented woman. She always made a point of saying "Hi!" when she came into the store. My condolences to all of you and your families.

I am shocked, yet again. Suzanne and my beloved Mom taught together in Grafton, at St. Mary's. Mom always spoke so highly of Suzanne and loved her so dearly, as Mom knew all of the tragedies poor Suzanne had faced. Rest in Peace, Suzanne. I just KNOW you and Mom are up there giggling away like crazy at each other. Just as you always did, here on Earth. Carmel Scott.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Sue. She was my oldest son's teacher at St. Mary's Grafton. I can't express how much I appreciated her kindness to my son, including coming to one of his birthday parties. She shared her love of art with him and was one of his biggest supporters. With the problems he had, he could not have done it without her help. I am so very sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person.

A dear friend, and neighbour. To dearly loved to ever be forgotten. You took me under your wing the first day I sent my daughter off to school, shared many coffees, introduced me to the worlds best shepherds pie I have ever had and also to “ Christmas meat pie”. We spent one whole summer teaching our kids to gamble ( rumoli we politely called it). My girls hoped for rain that summer so we could play in the afternoon as well as evening. So many lessons taught around your kitchen table. Your paintings hang in my home. You are hung in my heart. Love you

I had many great times with Scouter Sue at Reunions and Scouting Events. Thoughts and Prayers go out to Chris..Jamie and Family.

We were so very sorry to hear of Suzanne’s passing. We always enjoyed chatting in the apartment and at Walmart., giving leftover wool for her Mom to make the dolls. We always had something to talk about even for a couple minutes. She had such a wonderful personality and always made us smile. She was so proud and worried about Jamie going to the Ukraine. She was excited about moving to her Son’s. She will certainly be missed by all! Our prayers and thoughts are with her Family, Friends and all who called her “Mom”.

I will miss you Sue. My friend for many years. We shared laughter, and heart ache. Your family was always your soul. We did so many art classes and events together. I hope you can continue to paint in heaven. My condolences to Christopher and Jaime.

My deepest condolences at the loss of such a wonderful person. Susan taught two of my children at St. Mary's and she was a cherished teacher to them. It was always great seeing her at Walmart and having a nice chat. She always had a smile on her face and was a ray of sunlight to the world. Prayers for Susan and the family❤

Saddened at the loss of such a great woman, a blessing in my life. My most memorable and favourite grade school teacher, even later in life sharing her knowledge and kindness. My condolences to her family

Very sorry to hear about Suzanne. I knew her from Walmart. Suzanne was always smiling and very nice to chat with. She will be missed.

Suzanne Challice, was a beautiful, loving, joyful, hard working, woman, She was always reaching out to all she came in contact with no matter what was happening in her own life. She was loved by everyone who knew her. Christopher & James were her pride & joy & loved beyond measure. She loved teaching & the children & families over so many years. She will be a welcome new angel for a well deserved heavenly rest as she continues to watch over all she knew & loved.

So sorry to see this. Sue was such a generous soul, and I will always value how much I learned from her at St Mary CES.

So sorry for your loss. Sue was a beautiful soul with a beautiful heart. Dearly missed.

Thoughts are with you boys- I know this pain. Your mom was lovely for class outings and all the things. Take care Chris. Stephanie Kelly

R,I,P Suzanne

I first met Mrs Challice in Grade 5 at St Mary’s Elementary School in Grafton. I have so many core memories from being in her class. I loved her personality, her devotion to each and every student. Her laugh and smile were priceless. Her artwork was worth a million dollars in my eyes. She continued to help me spread my wings through out the school years. Always giving me advice, and a shoulder to cry on if needed. I also had the chance to work with her at our local Walmart. Still laughing. Smiling. always in a positive spirit. I remember her telling me please Allisha call me Sue. You no longer need to call me Mrs Challice. It was always so hard to call her sue but always answered to whichever I ended up greeting her with. Rest in Peace! Until we meet again

Sue. What a wonderful person! The McGourty Family

My sincerest condolences to the family. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

Dear Family You are so blessed to have Sue as your mother/grandmother. I was a grade 6 teacher at St. Marys Grafton for 6 years. I transferred from another school to Sue's. Before transferring I visited the school. Sue and her praises for the school were the reason why I choose to transfer to that school. It was an honour and a privilege to teach with such a dedicated. If you are her sons. She loved you and was proud of you. If you are her grandchildren . She loved you too and waited a long time to be a grandmother. If you were one of her students. You were blessed in both faith and academics. It was a please to teach side by side with Sue Challice. Sending you my blessings and love. Go in peace. Go in faith. Go with Russell. Jackie Alls Grade St. Marys Grafton

Chris, Jamie and families… I got to know your dad Russell first as employees of General foods. This led to socializing with both him and Sue and some very fun times. Sue always had a big smile and great sense of humour. She was honest and authentic. Then there was the sports involvement when Chris and Jamie played with our two sons ball and hockey. Sue was one of the loudest fans cheering on her beloved sons. Although we lost touch over the years when we would meet up it was like no time was lost. Chris and Jamie know that she will be remembered fondly.

So many memories over the years. From scouts to countless family holidays. Sending love and prayers from the Marcons ❤️

Very sorry to hear about your loss. Our family will be keeping you and your family in our prayers.

I was also lucky enough to be apart of some of her Ya Ya meetings behind the church; she kept it real and I loved her beaming light of authenticity! Rest in Peace dear friend.
