Susanne passed away suddenly in her home as a result of heart, kidney and other afflictions that she had bravely dealt with for 18 months.

She is deeply loved and cherished by her husband Cam, daughter Jessica Derventzis, mother Dorothea Englert, sister Andrea (Gary), nephew Alex, niece Stephanie, step daughter Lisa and other family members. All of us have wonderful memories of Susanne which we will always cherish.

Susanne was a truly beautiful woman inside and out, always very elegant and fashionable. She had a heart of gold for her family and her large number of close friends who all meant a great deal to her.

Susanne graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours B.A. and was fluent in three languages. She had three successful careers. The first was as a flight attendant for CP Air which took her all over the world in fine style. Her second career was as a French Immersion teacher at Millwood School in Etobicoke, where she inspired many of her pupils to excel as students and individuals. Her third career was as a homemaker, where she lovingly guided Jessica and Lisa into their adulthood.

She loved and respected nature. She rescued stray cats, fed the birds faithfully, and took care of all the wildlife that visited her backyard. She would start every day by doing the Globe & Mail crossword, carefully tallying the number of “look-ups” she had to resort to.

In memory of Susanne, please consider a donation to the Martin Luther Evangelical Lutheran Church or the Toronto Humane Society.
