It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Sue in her sleep at home. She is survived by her husband Joseph, daughter Lori and son-in-law Paul Cech-Manek, grandchildren Dane and Jenna, sister-in-law Emily Tuma of Leamington plus many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Mary and Nick, sister Molly, brothers Walter and Peter and brother-in-law Frank Tuma. Sue was born in Windsor, Ontario and graduated from Patterson Collegiate. She then found employment at the C.N.R Express office for 17 years, followed by another 17 years at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (Main branch, Windsor). Sue and Joe moved to Winnipeg two and one-half years ago to be closer to their daughter and grandchildren. Sue was outgoing and a ray of sunshine for those that knew her. She enjoyed going on car trips with Joe, and spending time with her family and grandchildren who meant the world to her. She was an active kindergarten volunteer at Linden Meadows School. As she requested, cremation has taken place with a private prayer service for family to follow. She and Joe enjoyed 56 happy years of marriage. We will miss your smile, your love, your wisdom and your caring. You are in our hearts forever. If friends so desire, a donation can be made to a charity of their choice.
