Obituary of Susan Jean McDonald

Susan Jean (Webb) McDonald of Quispamsis, wife of Peter J. McDonald, passed away on Sunday, October 14, 2012 at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Scarborough, Ontario on September 14, 1962, she was a daughter of Dennis and Jean Trowse. Susan worked the Atlantic Superstore, and most recently at Kings Way Care Centre. She was a member of St. Paul’s Anglican Church, Rothesay, where she taught Sunday School and was involved with youth programs. She enjoyed gardening and the outdoors, and when her children were young she volunteered with Girl Guides and coached soccer for seven years. She loved animals, especially her dogs Dasher, Miki, and Patches, but most of all enjoyed being a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.
