Peacefully with family by her side at Joseph Brant Hospital, on Monday February 28, 2022.

Beloved wife of Dr. Michael William Baker for 59 years and loving mother of Sean and Stephen (Denise) and cherished grandmother of Sophia, Kendall, Benjamin and William Baker and added grandmother to Olivia and Norah McCormick.

Predeceased by her parents and her sister and sorely missed by her surviving brother Piers (Gill), sisters Lise Kent (Richard) and Etta French (Ron Aubrey) and many friends and family in Kingston, Burlington, Oakville and around the world.

Sue was born in Gainsborough England and emigrated to Canada in 1950 with her parents first living in Westmount, PQ and then moving to Ottawa, where she attended Nepean high school. When Sue was 19 years of age, she joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, where she met Michael.

Following her discharge from the RCAF, Sue raised her two sons together with Michael through their numerous military postings, some of the more notably ones being North Bay ON, Duluth MN, Ottawa ON, Winnipeg MB, Fredericton NB, Lahr Germany and Kingston ON.

Along the way, Sue earned a Bachelor of Education at the University of Manitoba followed by a Master's Degree in Education from the University of New Brunswick. Sue taught for more than 21 years, most of which was spent with the Catholic District School Board in Kingston.

Following Michael's retirement from the military as a Major and her retirement from teaching in Kingston, Sue was not content to sit still but rather gathered Michael and continued to use her skills as a gifted teacher to work as a Special Education teacher at Western Academy Beijing in Beijing China for three years and then for two years in Cairo, Egypt.

Upon returning to Canada, Michael and Sue spent some further time in Kingston before moving to Burlington, ON. Never one to be shy Sue, joined the Burlington Women's Probus Club where she was involved with the Hiking and Book Clubs. In the last few years, Sue was able to spend time doing the things she loved including walking her cherished Standard Poodle Izzy, hiking in Newfoundland and the Rockies, visiting Ireland and Paris, and spending time with her grandchildren in Oakville and North Carolina.

Sue lived a wonderful life full of strength and kindness. She in turn was loved very much.

In lieu of flowers Sue would like you to consider a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society for Breast Cancer Research or Carpenter Hospice.
