Susan  Mueller

MUELLER, Susan Louise

September 14, 1944 – May 9, 2014

Susan passed away on Friday, May 9, 2014 after a courageous seven-year battle with cancer. Susan will be dearly missed by her loving family including her husband of 52 years, Heinz; and her pride and legacy, sons, Richard (Maria), Robert (Gaia), David (Michelle); and five grandsons, Max, Cameron, Quinn, Brian and Greyson. Susan loved to host family and many wonderful friends in her beautiful garden. She enjoyed travelling and creating a warm, welcoming home where her family enjoyed many special celebrations and where everyone, especially her grandsons, were embraced with love and care.

Susan’s thoughtful and compassionate spirit is an inspiration that lives on through her final gift, the donation of her eyes to the eye bank. Susan wanted to thank all her family and friends, Dr. Scot Dowden and the nurses and staff at the Tom Baker Centre, the nurses (especially Doreen) who attended to her needs at home for 10 weeks, and to the staff at the Foothills Country Hospice in her final three days. In all cases – thank you for your compassion and care.

Rest in peace Susan.

Until we meet again.

A Celebration of Susan’s Life will be held in the Founder’s Lounge, Gasoline Alley at Heritage Park, 1900 Heritage Drive SW, Calgary on  Saturday, May 24, 2014 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm. A Private Family Service and Interment will be held in Medicine Hat at a later date. If family and friends wish, donations may be made in Susan’s name to the Tom Baker Cancer Centre, c/o Alberta Cancer Foundation, 1331 29 Street NW, Calgary, AB, T2N 4N2.
