It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of Susan C. Syms-MacNeil (Smith) at the QEII Health Sciences Centre after a brief illness. Born on July 15th, 1934 in Reserve Mines, Nova Scotia, she was predeceased by her parents, Loretta (MacLean) and John Allan Smith; husbands William J. Syms and Cal MacNeil; and siblings Herbie, Maidie Addicott, Arnold, Sheldon and Anne Wood.
She is survived by her brother and sister-in-law Lorne and Neila Smith (Glace Bay), children Darrell (Lingan), Michele (Halifax), Dwight (Guelph), Shaun (Sydney) and Scott (Halifax), grandchildren Matthew, Luke, Joshua, Benjamin, Molly, Stephen, Thomas and Alianor and many great-grandchildren.
The family would like to thank the staff of the QEII Health Sciences Centre for their compassionate care. At Susie’s request, her remains have been donated to Dalhousie University. A memorial service will be conducted in Cape Breton in early August. Donations can be made in Susie’s memory to Feed Nova Scotia.
