Susan Christine Clare
November, 1945 – November 2024
Susan Christine Clare, passed away peacefully at St. Mary’s Hospital at the age of 79.
Born in the United Kingdom, Susan began her career as a hairdresser before emigrating to Canada in the 1960s. In Canada, Susan was an active member of the La Sertoma service club supporting their work in the local Kitchener-Waterloo area. Susan worked for many years in the retail and service industries, most notably as the food and beverage coordinator at the KW Granite Club.
Susan is survived by her beloved husband, Ian Clare, with whom she celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary this summer. Together, they raised four children: Lisa (Malcolm), Simon (Joanne), Jason, and Emma (Cliff). She was a loving and proud grandmother to nine grandchildren—Cameron, Daniel, Nick, Sean, Rachel, Karen, Ethan, Kaitlin, and Ashton.
She is also survived by her brothers, Russel (Helen) and Arthur (Vivienne), and is preceded in death by her dear sister, Judith.
