It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Susan Nichols (Humphries), who left us peacefully, with her loving daughter by her side, on Sunday, September 29, at the age of 76, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Susan was a devoted mother to Brieanna (Jesse) and a beloved Nana to River and Finn. Her bond with her grandchildren was especially strong, with a special connection as a twin herself. Dear sister to James, Catherine, and Martha, predeceased by her parents Ronald and Cecilie, sister Margaret, brother Alan and twin sister Sandra. She will be deeply missed by her extended family and friends.
Susan loved her pets, and her faithful companion Juno will miss their daily walks together. Even up until this past spring, Susan could be found walking Juno with her unmatched playlist, filled with her favourite tunes, getting in their 10k steps before 8am. She enjoyed spending summers at the cottage on Lake Simcoe, a place that brought her peace and joy. A lover of sewing and a voracious reader, Susan found contentment in the simple pleasures of life.
Known for her ‘all are welcome’ open door philosophy and quilting chaos, Susan met every challenge with hope, grace and determination.
Susan’s devotion to her family was unmatched, especially in her later years, when she poured her heart into her grandchildren’s lives. She was always there to support their adventures, forming a deep and special bond with them.
Donations in lieu of flowers can be sent to the Terry Fox Foundation.
Private funeral to be held, please contact the family for details.
