It is with heavy hearts that the family of Susan Eileen Foster announces her peaceful passing which occurred on Wednesday, February 8, 2023, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. Born in Cumberland Bay, New Brunswick on August 28, 1945, she was the daughter of the late Norman and Artheretta (Branscombe) MacIntosh.
