In Celebration of

Suzanne Klis

January 29, 1931 - July 11, 2024

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our mother and “Memere,” Suzanne Klis on July 11, 2024, surrounded by her family. Born in France in 1931, she came to Canada when she was 19, and built an amazing life, home, and cottage here. Her kindness, strength, and love for her family will always be remembered.

Suzanne is predeceased by her husband Walter, and her son John. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Stan, daughter Christine (Keith), as well as her seven grandchildren Amber (Dan), Aaron, Chantal (Kevin), Cameron (Cassandra), Nicholas, Keiran, and Ronan. She will also be fondly remembered by many friends and extended family both in Canada and France.

Visitation will be held July 15th at Turner and Porter “Yorke” Chapel, 2357 Bloor St W. Toronto, between 6-9pm. Funeral service will be held July 16th, also at the Turner and Porter “Yorke” Chapel at 11am, with interment to follow at Assumption Cemetery, 6933 Tomken Rd, Mississauga.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to Dr. Jacky Lai as well as all of the staff and volunteers at Hospice Simcoe for making her last days so comfortable.

Susie was a shining light.
She will be missed. Her laughter and joy was so uplifting to everyone around her. She made everyone feel welcome.
Hugs to your family during this sad time.

Malgré les 6 000 kms qui nous séparaient de notre tante, nous avons toujours gardé un contact avec elle. Avec son frère Joseph, notre père, ils s'écrivaient pour donner des nouvelles des uns et des autres. Nous nous souvenons d'elle comme d'une personne attentionnée qui , malgré les épreuves de la vie, est restée volontaire et pleine de vie.

A ma Tante Suzanne
Tu as su m'accueillir lorsque j'étais adolescent et que je découvrais pour la
première fois le Canada. Par la suite tu as su entretenir les liens avec mon épouse,
mes deux garçons et moi même, en nous adressant en début de chaque année une lettre de voeux dans laquelle tu nous tenais au courant de la vie de nos cousins canadiens.
Nous nous rappelerons tous ces petits moments partagés lorsqu'arrivaient tes lettres mais aussi dernièrement lors d'une visioconférence où tu partageais ta joie de vivre, heureuse de nous voir là en direct ; toi au Canada et nous ici en France. Je ne t'oublierais pas.
Richard
