Obituary of Elsa Susanna Sullivan

Elsa Susanna Sullivan Elsa Susanna Sullivan (nee Seifert) left her earthly abode behind, just short of her 91st birthday, on January 18, 2015. Elsa is survived by her brothers Jim (Opal) Seifert, Walter (Marilyn) Seifert, children Doug (Lorraine) Sullivan, Bryan Sullivan, Bill Sullivan, Barry (Mayo) Sullivan, Darlene (Don) Wilson, Bruce Sullivan, and Sandra (Lorne) Serbu. She will be missed by her eight grandchildren Catherine (Scott) Godlien, Ken (Shaussica) Sullivan, Daniel (Elizabeth) Sullivan, James Wilson, Laura Wilson, Kim Wilson, Tyler Sullivan and Max Pawlust, fourteen great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews and families. She was predeceased by her husband John (Jack) Sullivan in October of 1985, brothers Fred, Ernie, John, George, Charlie and sister Helen Luhning. Mom’s great loves in life were her family, especially her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, her farm, her garden, her flowers, knitting and reading. Slowly over the years, she was less able to partake of her loves as she was less able to maintain her independence, but still enjoyed visits from her family, particularly those great-granddaughters who were insistent on cuddling and looking after her every need. Her family was always uppermost in her mind and she will be missed by all of us. Special thanks to Dr. Kathy Ferguson, Dr. Andrew Kielly and the nursing staff at the Pasqua hospital for their compassion and care of Mom during these past weeks. Funeral Service will be held at Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Avenue, Regina, SK on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 10:00 a.m., with snacks following. Interment will be a private ceremony at Bethune Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made, in memory of Elsa, to the Bethune Cemetery Fund c/o Donna Hehir, Bethune SK S0G 0H0.
