Obituary of Susan McCracken

McCRACKEN, Susan It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Susan Teresa McCracken, beloved wife of Andrew Bognar and mother of Miranda and Madeleine, on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Suz was a caring and charismatic woman, invested in the well-being of her family, friends and life work, where she made significant contributions to the fields of biochemistry and cancer research. Susan was the daughter of Edward and Teresa and the sister of Edward (Judy), Anne, (Andre, deceased), Peter (Sandra), Gerald and, Joan (Dave). She will be missed by her nieces and nephews Elizabeth, Paul, Conor, Mike, Kate, Clint, Elena, and Kristina and their families. "I wish we could realize how beloved we are to each other. Even though we are all very different, loving each other should not be so hard." Suz will be an inspiration to us for the rest of our lives and we take comfort in knowing her guidance is not lost to us. Her favourite saying was "Hector is a hound and Keena is a baby." A wake will be held at the HUMPHREY FUNERAL HOME A.W. MILES CHAPEL LIMITED, 1403 Bayview Avenue (south of Davisville Avenue) from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, February 19. Funeral mass will be held in ST ANSELM'S CHURCH, 1 MacNaughton Road on Monday, February 20th at 10:30 a.m., with a reception to follow. An interment service will be held at a later date in Montreal. In Suz's memory, kindly pledge your support to the Weekend to End Women's Cancers in the name of her daughters Miranda and/or Madeliene Bognar who will be walking on her behalf.
