6 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, September 11,1991 Section Two Social and Personal Tribute to Susan Edmondson September 15,1949- April 27,1991 Each of us have our own way of grieving. After the loss of our parents, Kate and I found our best way of dealing with and sharing our grief was to recall our loved ones in our own special thoughts and experiences experiences we enjoyed with them. Susan was certainly "someone special" to us. In her earlier years, we plainly recall the white blond hair and pretty dimpled face; the joy of childhood; romance and marriage to Harold. The birth of the children and the sheer happiness of it all. Finally, Finally, their own home and independence independence and all that it gives. Then, Helen was stricken with rheumatoid arthritis which flared up often at first and she would be confined to bed or crutches. She was better later as the doctors found ways of reducing the flare-ups with medication. Susan was always there to help her Mother, doing housework, banking, painting, decorating, cooking meals and whenever she was needed. She would appear as if by a "special" "special" call and disappear to her home as soon as she felt all was in order. When Helen decided to go on a trip or Frank went deer hunting, she was always the one who looked after Dad, fed the dogs, did the chores and took the phone calls. When Frank was away deer hunting, Susan and Helen scheduled and made major changes to the house like, new cabinets, new floors, painting, cleaning out, throwing out, etc. Susan tackled tackled any job and showed amazing amazing versatility with the brush or hammer. This girl could do anything. Out of the blue it seemed she began sketching in pencil, asked for comments and raced on, as if possessed. She quickly quickly became good at it and moved on to lessons in oil painting. She became remarkably remarkably accomplished in a short time. Her "MILL POND" painting is a rare feat for one of so little experience in oils. She liked to paint those she loved, especially Mom, Dad and the dogs. Susan moved from oil painting to flower arrangements arrangements and then to decorating wedding cakes. As always her hands worked the same magic. Even helping Harold build kitchen cabinets the same touch was there. Everything she tried turned beautiful under her gifted hands. She continued continued to decorate wedding cakes until her illness would not permit permit her to carry on. She took on the job of looking looking after Harold's Grandmother's Grandmother's affairs and was rewarded by having the use of her car. She loved the independence it gave her and the freedom to help Helen and others in her own quiet way. She even developed developed a good understanding of car problems and what was needed; how to describe a noise and what might be needed needed to fix the car. Susan was the one who would appear out of no where C.L.O.C.A. Fall Winged Farewell on Sept. 15th Shorter, cooler days are warning us of winter's approach. approach.

She suddenly appeared at the Stephens' Stephens' sisters, brothers and inlaws' inlaws' Christmas party, supplied supplied and pinned on a corsage for each lady, a boutonneire on each man, wished us all Merry Christmas and disappeared. Being a hairdresser by trade she always did the family hairdo's hairdo's on Tuesday nights. She seemed to be very adept at dealing with the Stephens' "problem hair" and moulding it to the situation, as confusing as it must have seemed in Helen's kitchen with everyone talking at once. Of course she was called upon to develop her own distinctive hairdo style for Helen Helen as the arthritis drugs attacked attacked her hair quality. She always always rose to the occasion and freshened the ladies "on demand" demand" for each special event. Susan and her Mother developed developed and typed the small newspaper called "Cook's Chronicle" in 1979-80 to help out Aunt Peggc and Kate and Bill in Montreal. They assembled assembled family and local news, a few jokes, cartoons and bits and pieces each week or so and sent them off by mail. No one can say how much we enjoyed and appreciated seeing it arrive and reading and re-reading the humour and love in each line. It was a genuine piece of home and the finest example of family. family. We thanked God many times for such thoughtful people. people. Susan and Helen also both tried poetry and did some fine work for the family memori- ams. We marvel at what can be done when your heart is in it. Susan could and did organize organize her own and other families. families. She had a knack for it. She probably got that from home and wherever, she organized organized and controlled, trying to protect and provide for her loved ones. Even on her hospital hospital visits when we thought we . were taking care of her -- she was setting the times, the places places and reminding us where and when to go. From the time she began the fight against cancer, she again organized and controlled where, how and when the various various events took place. We tried to shift -- shape and ease her in the direction we thought most helpful, but at the same time, let her will be acknowledged acknowledged and respected. She wisely wisely adapted to each stage and fought on with renewed determination. determination. We who watched and tried to help marvelled at her guts and determination. We tried at every opportunity to tell her of our love and reassure reassure her of our support. Susan always did the unselfish unselfish thing for those she loved in a very quiet way. Helen Helen and Frank have for years tended the graves of their parents parents and others. Doing for others others when they couldn't manage through sickness or other problems; problems; Susan would take over or assist, adding her own suggestions suggestions if Helen of Frank were ill -- always with the person's personal wishes and preferences preferences in mind. She had an unusual kindness kindness for animals and her fellow beings. This showed in her every move, be it art, wedding cakes, flower arranging or just helping and guiding others. Surely these qualities were in many ways inherited or instilled instilled from her Mother and Father, and the life example they set. The way she used this unselfish love and kindness was uniquely her own. She was always thinking of, and giving for others. Let each of us always remember her fine example and try in our own way to emulate a person we were fortunate to know, to love and be a part of her life. We certainly will. May the God that we know always hold her and comfort' her in his care until we meet again.
