It is with great sadness that I reflect on the passing of Mrs Susan (Sue) Storey, a much valued patient and truly remarkable lady whom I had the privilege of caring for over more than 20 years.
Sue was , in every sense , a lady - both in word and deed. Ehe carried herself with grace, warmth, and quiet dignity, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing her .
In more recent years, Sue faced increasing mobility challenges. Yet , with characteristic strength and determination , she refused to surrender her independence.Even as she came to rely on two walking sticks, she remained resolution her wish to stay on her feet , meeting each day with courage and quiet resilience.
Sue also had a wonderful flair for style.A true fashionista , she had an instinctive eye for colour and presentation , always looking elegant and put together .Her sense of style reflected her vibrant personality and continued interest in life.
Over the years , Sue showed me great loyalty , continuing her care with me as my clinic evolved and had a number of moves until I finally had my own premises. I am deeply grateful for that trust and for the many conversations shared. Sue was always engaged with life - Speaking often and proudly of her family , recounting their milestones and social occasions with earth and joy .
She was consistently kind , upbeat and thoughtful -qualities that made every appointment with her a genuine pleasure.
Sue was supported throughout by her devoted husband, John , whose care and presence were a testament to their deep love for one another . It was always clear how much Sue cherished him .
Sue will be greatly missed - not only as a patient , but as a person whose strength , loyalty and gentle spirit left a lasting mark .
With warmest remembrance

Sue was a lovely, brave lady, a trojan. I have known her a long time as she attended the Regent Theatre every fortnight with the Tennis group and I was next door to one of her best friends and she would pass my place on the way to see Dianne. Last month I saw her at the Regent when she was going into SONG SUNG BLUE (the first song selected for her photo gallery) and I was surprised how well she appeared. She told me she was doing well so it was a shock to see she had died. Sue never complained. She will be sincerely missed.

So very sorry to hear of the passing of Sue. Everything said about her in her obituary is the epitome of what she was. A very gracious lady and a good friend. Sue was a fantastic host to those Old Boys Rugby Team that John coached all those years ago. May you rest in Perfect Peace Sue.
Love from David and Rosalie Coupland.

To John and family we extend to you all our sincere condolences. It is 60+ years since I worked for John and was introduced to Susan. Over the years your family and ours have had our share of tragedy and now another passing, we feel your grief. John I know we haven't spoken to each other in a long time, but that doesn't change the genuine sorry we feel for you and your family. Colin and Robyn Dowling.
