Knew Sue in her younger years and have not seen her for quite some time — my condolences to her son and family
ROWLINGS, Susan
1955 - 2023
Sue Rowlings (nee Bagyan) passed at Northview Nursing Home, Englehart, on Tuesday Nov 7th.
She was born on May 1st,1955 in Larder Lake, the youngest of her many siblings, to Sam Bagyan and Catherine Ouellette. She attended Larder PS and KLCVI and lived in Kirkland Lake from 1971 till 1977. After graduating from Northern College (Haileybury) Registered Nursing Assistant program in 1977, Sue worked for several years at Kingston General Hospital.
In 1986 she married Jim Rowlings and in 1987 her son Jamie was born. She moved back to Kirkland Lake with her son in 1988 and lived there until moving to Northview Nursing Home in Englehart in 2020. Sue was predeceased by her brothers: Danny, Bill, Frank and Sam, and her sisters Ethel Edwardson, Rose Derksen, and Jan May.
From the day Sue was born, her sister Jan was always her protector. When Jan passed in 2004, her husband Bob May continued as Sue’s advocate. Sue is survived by her son, Jamie (Josee) in Sudbury, her brother Terry (Donna) in Napanee, her sister Eraine Richer of Ignace, and numerous nieces and nephews in the North and in the Newburg/Napanee zone.

Sue would always come through my cash at I G A with Jamie. She always smiled and talked and was shy. Loved serving her. And over the years wondered where she was. May she rest now. She sure loved you Jamie and her sister Jan XxGod bless. Barbara Moore

Have known Sue for many years, and the last few, I would run into her, at the Encore Club, she was such a kind person and always had a smile on her face. So sorry for the family's loss.

Sincere condolences on the passing of Sue. We enjoyed chatting with her from time to time when we would meet downtown.
Jamie and family
So sorry to see that Sue has passed. We were friends since our KLCVI days where we shared a locker. I did loose touch with her when she moved out of KL and didn’t realize she was in Englehart. Take care and remember the good times.

So sorry to see Sue has passed away. She was a very kind lady and was very nice to me when she greeted me. Life is hard and life is fragile but I know Sue you are above smiling, sitting on a bench in paradise, looking at the colourful flowers with a sense of happiness and peace. No worries and meeting many who have reached paradise. Now you rest Sue and again until we meet again on the other side. Rest in Peace ️
Sincerely;
Madeleine

Sue was a friend of mine at KLCVI. She was a quiet, shy, reserved, sensitive and kind friend. We belonged to the group of “bus kids” being transported into KL! Her warm smile could brighten up a room anywhere! Rest in peace…
