Susan Verlean (nee Smith) Miller

As we bid farewell to Susan, our dancing queen, we were so fortunate to have had such a beautiful, loving, gentle Mom, Grandmother, sister and cherished friend to many! She leaves all who knew her with great memories and many stories to tell. She was always young at heart, loved country music...especially Allan Jackson.

Susan enjoyed a very satisfying career at Dalhousie University. She loved welcoming, meeting and assisting every student. They would very often seek her advise

Susan was born in Newlton, NS to Genevieve (Crowel) and Thelbert Smith.

Susan is survived by her children Heather (Brantford, ON); Cheryl (Bernie Blanchard) (Berwick, NS); Robert Miller (St. Thomas, ON). Her grandsons, Peter Blanchard (Berwick) and Gerald Blanchard (Halifax). Sisters, Mable Thornbird (Barrington Passage, NS); Ruth Nickerson (Cape Sable Island, NS) and Lois Caulwell (St. John, NB); Brother, Rodger Smith

She was predeceased by sisters, Leora Atkinson, Thelma Stoddard and brother, Norman Smith.

Susan was also so fortunate to be able to live in her own home with very special, caring caregivers Nick, Linda, Harjeet, Navya and Phuong. She was a gentle, elegant lady who always had a big smile. Every morning, it was a must that she applied her red lipstick and penciled her eyebrows.
