Susan Helena Hobbs

It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Susan on November 07, 2026, at the Village of Taunton Mills Long Term Care, with family by her side. She was a loving wife, mother , mother-in-law , grandmother and sister. Affectionately known as “Nammy” to her grandchildren and “Susie” to friends and family. She was a loving wife to Donald for 53 years where they shared a lifetime of love and the making of long lasting memories until his passing in 2008.

Susan Helena Hobbs was a loving and proud mother to Stephen (Darlene), Michaell ( Elly), Donna and Deborah (Daniel ). Family was everything, centre of her being . She was there to give support when needed, celebrate all their successes and was very proud of the people they have become.

Susan was very loving grandmother to Mark, Breanne, Olivia, Mitchell, Julia , Mya , Michelle and Daniel. Her grandchildren were also the centre of her being and they brought her such joy with every moment spent with them. They will always remember her love, and the special bonds they shared with “Nammy”, these memories they will never forget.

Susan is a great grandmother to Anna, Claire, Lucas, Emma, Elly and Lucy. The last decade of Susan’s decline sadly did not allow her to take part in the milestones or making of any lasting memories.

She would have been a very proud great grandmother and would have treasured every moment she had with them. Memories of “Nammy will be passed on and not forgotten.

Susan came to Ontario, left her home in New Brunswick at the age of 16 and started her 1st job at Oshawa General Motors ( Wire and Harness) where she met the man she would marry just before her 18th birthday. Throughout the years, Susan remained home and raised her children . At the age of 55, she received her Real Estate license and was very proud of her accomplishment. ( Ranked top of her class) She practiced Real Estate for 5 years until her husband’s retirement. Susan then enjoyed travelling, cottaging, boating and above all family being the centre of everything. All the memories created throughout that time were documented by the abundance of family pictures that will be cherished.

The family would like to extend their most heartfelt gratitude to all the care givers, PSW’s, nurses and staff in all positions at the Village of Taunton Mills, Long Term Care (Perry Neighbourhood) Wonderful dedicated staff who provided daily compassionate care during Susan’s 8 years as a resident. They all took part in Susan’s long journey and shared so many memories they had of her time there. These memories we will never forget and we appreciate the time you took to pass these memories on to us. She was treated with such dignity at all times; please never underestimate the work you do . Thank you to all who could take part in the “Walk of Dignity” , this will always be a very special memory for the family that we will carry with us.
