Susan Mary Gorloff Kitchener Obituary

Susan Mary Gorloff

Gorloff, Susan Mary It is with heavy hearts that the family of Susan Mary Gorloff announce her passing.  It seemed fitting that Sue, as she was known to all, left this world on Canada Day as she was an extremely proud Canadian - especially when it came to the Habs, Blue Jays and Olympic Games.  Sue leaves behind a large family who both loved and cared for her: brother Jim (Mitzi),  brother-in-law Ron VanderBeek, nieces and nephews Allison de Ruiter (Chris) Stephanie Gorloff, Stacey Gorloff, Laura VanderBeek (Matt), Kelly VanderBeek (David), Mark VanderBeek, and Jeff VanderBeek.  She will also be missed by her two great nephews Tommy Lanktree and Cooper Ford as well as her one great niece Julia Lanktree, plus a little de Ruiter whose  arrival is expected in a month's time. Sue was predeceased by her parents George and Eileen Gorloff, as well as her sister Janet VanderBeek. We will miss her witty sense of humour, ability to cook a great steak, and her warm heart.   A small celebration of Sue’s life was held with immediate family on Sunday, July 5th. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to St. Joseph's Healthcare Foundation for Nephrology Research – Dr. Lanktree at <a href="https://www.stjoesfoundation.ca/inmemoriam.">https://www.stjoesfoundation.ca/inmemoriam.</a> Visit www.henrywalser.com to view Sue's memorial.

So sorry to learn of Sue's passing. Sue was a terrific teacher who took great effort to connect with all of her students. She cared about making their learning meaningful and enjoyable. She was a lot of fun to be around and will be remembered fondly by many.

We got together with Sue while she was in Montreal many years ago doing her French studies. Being the niece of Vera (our dear friend) we were so pleased she came for dinner to our house in Pointe-Claire. We were taken with her right from the start. Open, congenial and... Continue Reading

Sue was a very proud aunt of all her nieces and nephews. Her colleagues were kept up to date on all their accomplishments. We became very proud of them as well. May her support be remembered as each one lives their lives to the fullest. She would want that.
