Susan Doreen (Powell) Pound

It is with profound sadness that the family of Susan Doreen Pound (née Powell) announces her sudden passing on June 17, 2026 at the age of 71. Sue’s loved ones find comfort in knowing that she is now reunited with her beloved husband and best friend, Rick.

She will be deeply missed by her devoted daughter, Meggie; Meggie’s partner, Odette; and their daughter, Kaycee Ray, Sue’s cherished granddaughter. Kaycee brought her immense joy and was one of the greatest blessings of her life. Sue is remembered by her in-laws, Roxine Powell and Kim and Jim Pound, who she loved dearly. Sue will be missed every day by her sister, Sandra Powell. Sandra held a special place in Sue's heart, they understood each other without explanation and loved each other unconditionally. They share a bond that is everlasting. 

Sue will be greatly missed by her extended family, Heather Rielly and Burton Lee; her many nieces and nephews who adored their Aunt Susie; her dear friends, Marcel Brisson and Joan Rawlinson, and Heather and Brian Sharpe. She also leaves behind her beloved dog, Benny, who was never far from her side and brought her endless comfort, companionship, and love.

Sue will be especially missed by her best friends, Debi and Wayne Floyd. Debi was Sue’s person - the one who knew her best, and the one who shared in every joy, worry, celebration, and challenge. They were lifelong friends and a constant source of love and support for one another through every high and low, sharing a bond that was truly one of a kind. Their unwavering friendship remains one of the most important relationships of their lives.

Sue was predeceased by her parents, William and Doreen Powell; her brother Donald Powell; her brother-in-law Ronald Pound; her sister-in-law Linda Duff; and her nephew Bill Duff, who is survived by his wife, Kathy.

She was a devoted wife of 52 years, whose world revolved around Rick and her family. Sue took great pride in her home and cared for it meticulously, much like she cared for her friends and family. She would do anything for those she loved.

Sue was a deeply loving mother to her treasured daughter, Meggie. Shortly after Meggie was born, Sue retired from Outboard Marine and became a stay-at-home mom. She attended every field trip, every dance recital, and everything in between. The two would often affectionately argue about who loved the other one more. Sue was the kind of mother who would replace a lightbulb in Meggie’s house before she even knew it was burning out. She was, and will continue to be, her guiding light.

When Kaycee Ray was born, Sue took on the role of “Grandma” with great pride. No amount of time spent with Kaycee was enough. It was an extraordinary relationship, and Sue jumped at the chance to do absolutely anything with Kaycee. Together was their favourite place to be. Sue was delighted to spoil Kaycee at every chance, and never tired of playing tea party or games. School pick ups, dance competitions and lazy days on the couch; Sue loved every moment with Kaycee.

Sue will be remembered for her contagious laugh, her wonderful sense of fashion, and the way she could light up a room simply by being in it. She could often be found on the phone, checking in with friends and family, always making sure her loved ones were okay. She never turned down a cup of fresh black coffee or something sweet. Sue never missed an opportunity to share a laugh, play a prank, or tease the people she loved, and somehow the way she retold the story was always even better than the event itself. She hummed her way through each day, a small but unforgettable part of her presence that those who knew her will always remember.

Sue was the heart of every gathering, making sure everyone had exactly what they needed. She was the keeper of traditions, both big and small, and someone who always put others before herself. She reminded us that the little things are not little at all - the balloons hanging above the dining room table at every holiday, the confetti tucked inside every birthday card, and the countless thoughtful gestures that made ordinary moments feel like magic.

Being around Sue felt like home. She was our safe place, our biggest supporter, and our greatest source of love. Through this unimaginable loss, we find comfort in knowing that Sue is back in the arms of the love of her life, listening to music and dancing in the kitchen, just as they always did. Though our hearts are broken, we find solace in the memories, traditions, laughter, and the love she leaves behind. Her presence will be felt in every family gathering, every familiar song, and every act of kindness inspired by her example.

May we all strive to live a little more like Sue did; never afraid to be silly, always choosing joy, and embracing the song in our hearts.

Love you to the moon and back.
