It is with a heavy heart that the family of Suzanne Marie Varalo share her passing on Sunday September 1, 2024 after a brief illness, at the age of 73, surrounded by her loved ones.

She leaves behind her beloved husband Gord Penney, her true love of 46 wonderful years. They built an incredible life together and enjoyed each other’s company each and every day.

Suzanne was the eldest of 11 children. She had 5 very special sisters who were also her best friends (Carolle, Louise, Sandra, Sonia, & Joane), and 5 brothers (Marcel, Mitch, Rick, Doug & Dave) who, through thick or thin, loved each other immensely. She also loved all her brother and sister-in-laws whom she was so fond of. As well as her many nieces and nephews, friends, and several other loved ones she has met and loved along the way. Her family meant the world to her especially her annual sisters reunion with her 5 sisters. This festivity took place for many years, which was such a joyful occasion she looked forward to. She deeply loved her dear siblings, as they weathered the storms together throughout their lives.

She is survived by her true love Gord Penney, her siblings Carolle, Louise, Marcel, Mitch, Sandra, Sonia, Joane & Rick.
She will be sadly missed by the many grandchildren of her siblings as well.

Suzanne was predeceased by her parents the late Rene Varalo and Estelle Varalo, and 2 of her brothers, Doug and Dave. As well as nieces Nicole & Nancy and nephews Brooks, Troy & Jay.

Her best friend Violet whom she loved and treasured, often enjoyed Costco trips and shopping for her favourite cheeses at her favourite Cheese factory. Suzanne loved Violet, just like she was her sister. A true kindred spirit.

Through these losses, Suzanne continued to be a positive influence on those around her with her vibrant personality, compassion, and gratitude. She was always filled with hope and kindness.

Suzanne spent over 40 years working in the insurance industry before retiring in 2011. Her work ethic was unmatched. She served her employers well, committing herself daily to all her professional duties and responsibilities with commitment and excellence.

Suzanne liked to have a good time. She was also mischievous, tenacious, determined, and always had a sparkle in her eye. Oh yes and she was corky. She will be tremendously missed.

The visitation will be held on Saturday September 7, 2024 from 1:00 - 3:00. Followed by a service in the Chapel at 3:00.
