June 29, 1961-November 6, 2024
It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Turner Family announce the sudden passing of Susan Lynn Turner (nee Filman), peacefully at her home in Orillia, Ontario on November 6, 2024.
Susan is survived by her beloved husband and best friend of 40 years, Terry. She is deeply missed by her three children, Sean (Brittany), Darcy, and Carly (Drew). Ever-loving Nonnie to her three grandchildren, Colson, Wyatt, and Eloise. Devoted sister to Diane and Linda. Auntie to her nieces and nephews. Susan’s greatest joy was her many friends and family.
Susan was born in Hamilton, Ontario to William Filman and Nancy Dawson. She attended Central High School, as well as Lord Elgin High School in Burlington, Ontario and was a member of the Burlington Teen Tour Band. Susan went on to attend York University where she obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Bachelor of Social Work, all while raising a young family. Susan dedicated 25 years of her working life to the Children’s Aid Society.
It was in the Fall of 2000 that Susan was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Susan, the always strong and sometimes stubborn individual, fought hard and won the battle against her diagnosis. She was an active supporter and champion of the Terry Fox Foundation.
Susan was a warm, caring, and tender soul. She listened intently, offered support, and lived a life full of love. She made sure others were taken care of before herself, right up to her passing. Her legacy will be felt and remembered.
A celebration of Susan’s life will take place on Sunday, November 24, 2024 at Hawk Ridge Golf Club from 1pm to 4pm, with acknowledgments at 2pm.
Donations in memory of Susan’s life would be welcomed by the Terry Fox Foundation. Arrangements entrusted to Carson Funeral Homes L. Doolittle Chapel 54 Coldwater St. E Orillia (705)326-3595.
