Susan Mae Senger
April 30th, 2021
Susan Mae Senger, late of Regina, Saskatchewan, passed peacefully from this life on April 30, 2021 at the age of 66.
Sue was born to James and Victoria McMillan in Regina, Saskatchewan, the only daughter among 3 boys. She was doted upon and maintained a close relationship as caregiver to her parents throughout her life.
In 1976 Sue married Robert Brian Senger and they soon settled down to start her life’s work of raising a family. She and Robert shared nearly 45 years of marriage together. Their devotion to each other, their faith, and family through all the joys and hardships of life continue to serve as a beautiful example of love to all who have known them.
A woman of strong faith and vivacious spirit, Sue took great pride in her family on whom she lavished time and energy. She loved to read, cook, was an accomplished baker, and cherished a good visit over coffee and a game of cards. She and Robert also found great joy in the outdoors, instilling in their children a love of camping and fishing, hiking and campfires. To her family and friends, she was known to be graciously hospitable and she was generous to a fault. Giving was truly the language she used to make others feel supported and cherished.
Most importantly Sue’s love of the Lord has been paramount in her life since she was a teenager. She challenged herself and her family to follow the path of Christ leaning on Him in prayer during times of difficulty and honouring Him with her selfless acts of love and generosity. This is a great legacy and serves as a strong example of lifelong faith for all who have been blessed to know her.
She was predeceased by her brothers William and Gerald and grandson Kaiden. Susan is survived by her husband Robert and their two children Jennifer (Andrae) Johnson and Christopher (Christie) Senger; five grandchildren; her parents Jim and Vicky; her brother Ron; as well as many other beloved relatives, nieces, and nephews.
Private Funeral Service will be held.

Jen, Chris and family I am so sorry for the loss of your dear mother. I have sweet memories of the wonderful food she made (especially her birthday cakes) and her kindness.
Sorry to hear of Sue's passing she fell asleep in the Lord ! She was a dear heart always engaging, always kind, her faith was evident by the by way she lived. Hospitality, her meals and baking made with tender loving kindness always a blessing! Sue was genuine when she spoke and shared her faith, a strong relationship with Jesus Christ and his church. She will be missed and may her memory be eternal !
Ode to Susan Senger: I was looking forward to perhaps seeing you this Holy Week at St. George Orthodox Cathedral during Easter -- and then the sad news came. I was reminiscing about our one-hour telephone conversations; you and Bob bringing a meal to Don and I after my mother died, part of your Protestant upbringing, just because you were “in the neighbourhood”; Don and I attending your daughter Jennifer’s wedding where I helped decorate the banquet hall; helping you prepare the apres Liturgy of Pre-sanctified Gifts suppers; staying after Agape/Coffee Hours, Father John Mancantelli’s Bible Discussions and Inquirers Classes to hear you eloquently speak of your love for the Orthodox faith; Don and I attending Bob and your 25th wedding anniversary; your helping to serve the Pomana lunch at my father’s funeral; and Don and I joining you and your mom and the rest of the St. George congregation at our weekly games-night fellowships. Rest in peace, my friend.

Sending love to all family and friends.
Jennifer and family Berk and I are deeply saddened by the loss of your dear mother
I really liked your mom. She had a great smile and was so encouraging. She’ll be missed.
My deepest sympathy Jen, to you and your family at this sad time.
My sincerest condolences to your family. I had the pleasure of meeting Sue and Bob through my dad, John Wiebe, who has recently passed away. My dad loved the special visits and calls he received from them. He always spoke very fondly of Sue and Bob and their children.
