Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemorySUSAN GRACE YAKE
With deep sadness, the family of Susan Grace Yake announces her passing on November 12, 2025, after a short and courageous battle with cancer.
Susan is lovingly remembered by her partner, Bob; her sons, Sean and Braden (Maureen); her mother, Mary; her siblings, Joy, Mike (Cheryl), and Karen; her stepsons, Chris (Andrea) and Mark (Cassandra); and a large extended family of cousins, nieces, and nephews. She is predeceased by her father, Harland, and her brother, John.
Born on August 10, 1959, in Manitou, Manitoba, Susan was raised on the family farm in Snowflake as the third of five children. Growing up surrounded by wide-open fields, animals, and the steady rhythm of farm life shaped her enduring love of the outdoors and her lifelong connection to horses.
One of Susan’s greatest passions was horseback riding, and in 2010, she was able to make her dream come true of buying an acreage with Bob and her own horses. She also found joy in sewing, especially in creating beautiful quilts for her family.
Susan will be remembered for her calm strength, her deep devotion to family, and the unshakeable kindness she offered to everyone she met.
A private service to honour Susan’s life will be held for close friends and family.
Her presence will be deeply missed, but the love she shared will carry on in all who knew her.

I worked with Susan at Hunt Windows in the 80s and we've kept in touch ever since. Kind, smart and caring, she was a lovely friend. Our deepest condolences to Bob, Braden and Sean and all the family for this terrible loss. - Posted by: Gail Werschler (Friend) on: Nov 16, 2025

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Susan. My journey with her started with an interview at Hunt Windows when she offered me a position. Imagine our surprise when we realized we were also neighbours! Thus began a lifelong friendship. Although we didn’t see each other over the past number of years we have kept in contact through social media. Susan will always be my symbol of strength and resilience. Her courage over the past years show her determination to fight with all her energy and always with a smile! She will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to her boys - Sean and Braden, and to her rock Bob and the rest of her family. May you rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Cheryl Gluck (Friend/Co-worker/Neighbour) on: Nov 16, 2025
