We are saddened by the death of Susan Stevenson (nee Allen) (1948-2014) of Winlaw. Susan Stevenson died Friday, August 29th, in the Nelson hospital, where she had been admitted August 25. She had been living with cancer over the past 8 months but continued to fulfill her roles as Clerk of Canadian Quakers until late August. Both Susan and her husband David have felt blessed in the support through this journey by family, the local community, and the health care system. David treasured each of his 43 years with Susan.
Those of us who have known and worked with Susan over the years will greatly miss her - her groundedness, her engagement in the Quaker community, and her love of life and the beauty of the biodiversity around her. As a published forest wildlife ecologist Susan played an instrumental role in joining UNBC faculty, students, industry, and other community partners in research and education projects during the 35 years she and David lived in Prince George. Her work with the B.C. Assoc. of Professional Biologists played an important role in developing standards of professional practice and introducing students to career possibilities.
