On March 26, 2014, Suzanne Maria Chaput of St. John's passed away peacefully after a short illness at the Dr. Leonard A. Miller Centre Hospital with Gary Pike, her life partner, by her side. She was 54 years old. Born in Ste. Anne, Manitoba, the tenth child of Alice (née Charrière) and Camille Chaput, both deceased, she will be remembered by her ten sisters and brothers: Maria (Louis), André (Thérèse), Maurice (friend Diane), Hubert (Joan), Louise (Claude), Roger (Georgette), Lucien (Monique), Gérald (Gerry), Alice (Ron) and Clément (Myrna); Gary's mother Mary Agnes Pike (born Curran) and sisters: Valerie (Michael) and Beverlie (David) as well as over 30 nieces, nephews, grand nieces, and grand nephews. Also left behind, richer and sadder for having known Suzanne, is her shelter-rescue friend Nicki, who like family and friends, will remain perplexed at the incomprehension of it all. A general viewing will be held at CAUL's Funeral Home on Sunday, March 30, 2014 located at 84 LeMarchant Road, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm and from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. A private ceremony for the Pike and Chaput families is planned for the following day. Scattering of the ashes in Newfoundland and in Manitoba will occur at a later date. Donations in Suzanne's memory may be made to the Cancer Society. Arrangements by Caul's Funeral Home.
