Obituary of Susan Nelson

It is with great sadness that the family of Susan Anne Nelson announces her death which occurred on Sunday, June 23, 2024, at the Saint John Regional Hospital. She was born in Saint John, NB on May 2, 1954, the daughter of the late Edwyn and Nancy (Jones) Wetmore.

She lived in Clifton Royal during her preschool years. The family moved to Hampton, where she graduated from Hampton Consolidated School. She was a graduate of Modern Business College, then worked as a Legal Secretary for over 40 years in Saint John and Hampton.

She was an active member of the Anglican Parish of Central Kings, including the Anglican Church Women, and as a long-term Vestry Clerk. As a member of the Nereides Temple #78 Daughters of the Nile, she dedicated countless hours to the many sewing and other projects, for the benefit of the Shriners Children’s Hospital in Montreal.
