It is with great sadness that the family of Susan Mae Berry (nee Wagner) age 50 of River Hebert, formerly of Amherst, announce her peaceful passing on January 18, 2015 at the Cumberland Regional Health Care Centre, Upper Nappan, NS after a short, but very brave, battle with cancer. Born in Amherst on January 11, 1965 she was the darling youngest daughter of Joan and Bill Richard of Amherst, and Peter (Monica) Wagner of Florida. Susie is survived by the love of her life husband Jeff, and the greatest light of her life her beautiful 8 year old daughter Ashley at home. She will be sadly missed by her sister Vicky and brother-in-law Mike (Comeau) of Amherst, nephews Adam, Jordie, and Mickey, and niece Andrea. She also leaves behind step-son J.J. of Sackville, NB, step-daughter Sherry of Amherst, and many dear to her heart aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends. Susie loved spending time with her family and friends, camping in Five Islands, visiting her beloved Tidnish Docks, playing cards, and always had a big smile and great laugh with everyone she visited along the way. She was loved by all and will be dearly missed. She was predeceased by paternal grandparents Mel and Beulah Wagner, maternal grandparents Leo and Clara LeBlanc and step-grandparents Aurele and Ellen Richard.
A heartfelt thank you to the CRHCC Palliative Care team of Dr. Short, Sharon, Sherry, Vicky, & Terri-lynn, and all the Medical Unit RN’s, LPN’s, and CCA's.
