BULMER, Susan Catherine (nee Dougall) After a graceful and courageous journey with ovarian cancer, Susan passed away peacefully on Saturday, August 29th, surrounded by family. Born in Calgary on June 24, 1952, Susan excelled in her schooling and attained her BA and Law degrees from the University of Alberta. Susan practiced law from 1975 - 1997 and spent most of her time in private practice and as a consultant to not-for-profit organizations. This was eventually superseded by her passion and love for sport, sport administration and community volunteerism. During her twelve years in Executive Director roles for two Provincial Sport Associations, Susan was a voice for sport with the Edmonton Sport Council, Albert Sport Recreation Parks and Wildlife Foundation, 2005 World Masters Games Steering, Sport and Venue Committees, and held distinguished planning roles with these and numerous other municipal and provincial organizations. Her greatest joy came from nurturing her family to thrive and grow. Sue's selfless devotion to and belief in her children, perpetual optimism and unwavering faith made her the light in our family. Her dedication to family and her many and varied accomplishments were the delight of her husband. Predeceased by her parents, Tom and Doris Dougall, Susan is survived by Derek, her devoted husband of 34 years; daughter and son-in-law, Eryn and Neil Barrett; a son and daughter-in-law, Matthew and Monique Bulmer; a daughter, Christin Bulmer; and four grandchildren, Connor and Ava Barrett, and Nathaniel and Zachary Bulmer. She is also survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Tom and Linda Dougall of Calgary; as well as extended family.
