Gall, Margaret Susan (Hedley)

August 15, 1943 - December 20, 2007. After a long battle with cancer, Susan passed away in Surrey Memorial Hospital with her family by her side. She was predeceased by her father Frank Hedley, mother Margaret, and stepfather Reg Burr. Susan leaves behind her loving husband, Bob, and two adoring children, Emily and Ian Gall. She will be fondly remembered by her stepbrother, Larry Burr (Maggie), family, and close friends such as the Bridge Girls, who provided her with comfort, inspiration and laughter. Susan taught home economics at Delta Secondary and finished her career as a teacher librarian at Brooke Elementary where she adored her work with the children. She was an avid gardener, sewer and reader. Among her many memories include sharing the ski cabin in Whistler with the Martins, boating, and canoeing with friends and Bob throughout their 35 years of marriage. We will forever be inspired by her moral strength, positive attitude and generosity. The family thanks everyone for their support, especially Hope Mountford for her unconditional love and devotion.

A celebration of Susan's life will take place on Thursday, December 27, 2007 at 2:00pm at Valley View Funeral Home, 14660 72nd Ave., Surrey. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society, who gave us several more wonderful years together. You will be in our hearts forever.
