Susan Colleen Werner
Obituary
Passed on
Oct 13, 1961 – July 17, 2025
Peacefully on Thursday, July 17, 2025, Sue passed away at home and on her terms at the age of 63 years. Sue is survived by her husband Lloyd, her sister Sandy, several nephews and niece as well as her best friend Ronda. Sue was predeceased by her daughter Jenn and her parents Walter and Joan Werner.
Sue was employed as a Flight service Specialist with Transport Canada and then NavCanada serving at various stations in northern Manitoba and the High Arctic before moving to the Stonewall area in 1994, working at Winnipeg FIC whilst also partaking in her “Farm Woman in Training” until her arthritis put her on disability in 2002. This then led to an almost complete takeover of good portions of the house for her crafting endeavours. Normal furniture was deemed irrelevant and thus replaced by uncountable tables, desks, shelves, storage boxes, and drawers to harbour all of her acquired supplies and projects.
In accordance with Sue’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private interment will be held at the Stonewall Cemetery at a later date. Cards/flowers are gratefully declined.
Comments
I have many fond memories of Susan’s parents Joan and Walter and of the time we stayed with Sue, Jenn and Joan at Sue’s in Thompson while flying home years ago. I am sure that her parents love of their float plane inspired Sue to pursue her career as a Flight Service Specialist. Although I had always hoped to keep in contact, unfortunately our once close families grew distant over time and it comes as a shock to read of Sue’s passing. My deepest condolences to Lloyd, Sandy and their families.

No one but Sue, could talk a friend into moving back to Thompson, after a year in Rankin! A true friend, from across the miles.

So sorry to hear this news. Susan was born a month after Brad and I remember how excited Walter and Joan were. My sincere condolences to everyone.
