RESOLUTE, CONSIDERATE & UNDERSTATED

SUZANNE DAOUST

My sister Suzanne, eleven years my senior, spoiled me endlessly growing up, much like my sisters Lise and Nicole. From an early age, we shared a similar sense of fun, adventure, and curiosity about life that naturally drew me toward her. As a kid, I always thought of Suzanne as “the one I’d have fun with,” because she brought lightness, laughter, and spontaneity wherever she went — and she still does. It’s simply part of who she is. Like our father, Suzanne has always searched for truth and deeper meaning in life, guided by a strong sense of what feels right and a desire to do right, all while maintaining balance, compassion, and a genuine joy for living.

As a mother of four, grandmother of eight, and now even a great-grandmother, Suzanne’s devotion to her family has always been unwavering. Those same nurturing qualities made her a natural in her profession as a nurse, where her caring spirit and quiet compassion truly reflected her calling in life. She has always carried herself with humility and grace, never seeking attention or recognition, yet her understated nature and steady example have been a profound inspiration to me throughout my life. Suzanne’s warmth, wisdom, and authenticity continue to leave a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know her.
