Susan was born and raised in Midlandvale, AB and other than a few years in Calgary and Thunder Bay, Ontario, she spent her life in the valley.
In her younger years, you would often find her skating on the river in her new figure skates. She also enjoyed her job at the Starlight Cafe waiting on the many patrons of Drumheller and you could see her children sitting at the counter having french fries. She loved to travel and often spent time in Mexico with her sisters Jean and Stella.
As a member of the Legion you would find her on a Friday night there dancing and having a beer with her many friends.
Her cooking and baking were second to none. Christmas baking would start in September to make sure there was enough for everyone.
She always spoke of her boys and their ‘damn cars’. In her late years she could be seen cruising the strip or heading out to Wayne for a burger and a beer with them in their classic cars.
Spending time with her family was always a great joy to her.
Susan was the last living member of her family. She was predeceased by her parents, John and Katie Byrtus; her brothers Joey and John as well as her sisters Jean and Stella; husbands Robert Armstrong, Norman Lennstrom as well as long time companion Jack Darroch.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Drumheller Continuing Care Recreation Department, 351 9 Street NW, Drumheller, AB T0J 0Y1
