It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Susan Denise Brown (née Charlebois) at the age of 71 after a brave battle with cancer.
Sue is survived by her hubby, best friend and soulmate Willlie and loving sons Geoff (Christine) and Jason (Isabelle), her two adored grandaughters Ashlyn and Myla
She was a caring sister to Odette Bonneville (Richard), Linda Leslie (John), John Charlebois and Deb McIllwain (Greg).
She is predeceased by her parents Raymond and Jeannette (née Bellefeuille) Charlebois.
Sue enjoyed a loving extended family and will be fondly remembered by many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, great friends, and a dear stepmom Estelle Besner. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and leaves wonderful memories behind to remember her by.
We are so grateful to her strong community of friends, colleagues, and neighbours, who accompanied her and her family during these difficult times and throughout her life. We are also grateful for the care and support offered by the cancer community in Ottawa, most especially Dr. Nicholas, Dr. Effendi, the Cancer Centre at the Ottawa General Hospital and the staff at Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital.
Family and friends are invited to Beechwood Funeral, Cemetery on Sunday, January 22, 2023 at 12pm. A memorial service will be held at 2 pm. A private burial will take place at a later time. In lieu of flowers, donations to Lung Cancer Canada would be appreciated.

We are very sorry for the loss of Sue. We had the honour of meeting her and Willie in Scotland a few years back and could see right away what a bright, engaging person she was. Steak pie was in the menu in their honour, and we won’t forget our enjoyable meeting. With all our love at this sad time. xx
