Susan Lynn Morrisey

Born in Riverside-Albert, NB, on February, 8th, 1965, she was the daughter of the late Vincent and Audrey (Capson) Wilson.

 

Susan never took much time for herself. She worked at Rock's View Variety and the Alma General Store, where she enjoyed visiting with customers and catching up on the latest happenings around the community. She dedicated 29 years to Forest Dale Home Inc., serving wherever she was needed. Whether she was in resident care, housekeeping, or the maintenance department, she did whatever job was asked of her. She showed up, did what needed to be done, and remained in the maintenance department until her retirement.

 

It was the simple things in life that brought her happiness. In her younger years, she loved camping with her family. Later in life, she was content with a cross-stitch project, a cup of coffee, and a cigarette while enjoying the comfort of home.

 

Above all else, family was the center of Susan's world. They always came before herself. Her daughter, Melissa, was her greatest pride and joy, and Susan worked tirelessly to make sure she had everything she needed and more. She also loved keeping up with her nieces and nephews and looked forward to hearing about their lives. Every family gathering was filled with laughter, playful teasing, and good-natured jokes, something Susan was always happy to be a part of.

 

Retirement brought its share of challenges. After being diagnosed with cancer, Susan faced it with remarkable courage and determination. She rarely complained or let on how she was truly feeling, simply answering, "I'm fine." Through those difficult times, she was deeply grateful for the unwavering love and support of her family, especially her nieces, Wendy and Shelly, who were always there whenever she needed them. Their kindness, devotion, and constant presence were a source of great comfort, and Susan considered them one of life's greatest blessings.

 

"Home, family, laughter, and love, that is a life well lived."

 

She will be deeply missed by her husband, Michael Morrisey of Hillsborough; daughter, Melissa Morrisey of Riverside-Albert; sister, Lana Wilson of Alma; brother, Greg Wilson (Heather) of Shepody; brother-in-law Leslie Kennie of Shepody; her special nieces, Wendy and Shelly as well as several other nieces and nephews. She will also be missed by all her extended family and friends.

 

Besides her parents she was predeceased by her infant son, Ryan; sister, Ruth Kennie; brothers, Reginald and Carl Wilson (Joanne); brother-in-law, Peter Edgett.

 

The family would like to take this opportunity to express their appreciation and gratitude to the extra-mural staff, the staff of the Albert County Community Health Center and to Dr. Richard Morcom for the guidance, support, and compassion shown to Susan in her final days, it will never be forgotten.

 

A Memorial Service to celebrate her life will be held at the Albert County Funeral Home on Sunday, July 12th, 2026 at 2:00pm with Pastor Quincy Arbeau officiating. Visitation will take place one hour prior to the service from 1-2pm. A private interment will be held in the Grey's Island Cemetery, Hillsborough, NB.

 

In Memory of Susan, donations to the Forest Dale Home Activity Department would be greatly appreciated by the family.
