Susan Werezak, née Anderson
Susan Anderson of Upsala, Ontario, passed away peacefully on November 16, 2025, at the age of 89. She left this world as she lived — quietly and gracefully — while taking a nap on the couch, her cup of tea resting on the table in front of her.
Susan was born on December 15, 1935, to Eliza Gray and Walter Anderson, in a peaceful home birth in Upsala. Her childhood was filled with the simple joys of wilderness life — playing with her sisters and brothers, eating fresh vegetables from the family garden, and fishing in the lake near their home. These early years in Upsala shaped her lifelong love of nature, simplicity, and family.
At the age of 15, Susan moved to Thunder Bay to live with family, beginning a new chapter marked by independence, resilience, and devotion to those she loved. Known for her gentle spirit, unwavering kindness, and quiet strength, Susan touched the lives of many and left a lasting legacy of warmth and grace.
She is survived by her two daughters, Katherine and Cindy; her six grandchildren — Jason, Cody, Shelby, Chelsea, Keelie, and Sam — whom she lovingly helped care for throughout the years. Always ready to lend a hand, Susan was a steady and comforting presence in their lives. She was also a loving great-grandmother to four and a beloved aunt to many nieces and nephews.
Susan will be deeply missed and fondly remembered for the joy she brought into every day and the love she gave so freely.
