Obituary:

On January 17th, 2018 Susan Lynn Lockhart (Prosser) ended her brief but fierce battle with cancer.

Susie, as she was often called, was happiest at the beach. She loved leopard print, loud music, and driving her convertible with the top down. Wherever she went she made friends quickly as people were drawn to her positivity and fun-loving personality. Her love of people made her a natural fit for the customer service industry where she formed many wonderful bonds. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Susan was predeceased by her mother and father Shirley and Oran (Skip) Prosser.

She is survived by her husband Winston (Jake) Lockhart who lovingly cared for her during her illness, her daughter Lisa (Mark) Porter, her son Justin (Bridget) Wort, brothers Kenny (Bev) Prosser and Blair (Sheilah) Prosser, sisters Diane (Jeff) Graham and Lisa Swanton, grandchildren Ethan, Cole, Elijah and Lily Porter, and Victoria and Robert Wort as well as step-children Jennifer (Nathan) Adams and Allison (Craig) Lockhart and step-grandchildren Joshua, Jessica, Olivia, Sophia, and Emma.

Celebration of life services was held in Truro, NS on Friday, January 19th at the Wesleyan Church from 6:30 to 8:30 pm and in Woodstock, NB on Sunday, January 21st. at Connell House from 1 to 4 p.m. for a drop in.

Susan has generously given her body to science; students at Dalhousie University will benefit from this gift as they advance our medical understanding.

Susan loved fresh flowers and her family and friends showered her with these during her illness. In lieu of flowers, those wishing to pay tribute may make donations to the Canadian Cancer Society.
