WELDA (SUNTJENS),
Manon Jacqueline
June 7, 1960 –
August 30, 2018
Manon Jacqueline, loving spouse of Ray Suntjens of Coronation, Ab., passed away at the Coronation hospital at the age of 58 following a courageous battle with cancer.
Manon was also a loving mother to Tanja (Matthew) of Red Deer, Ab. and Alana (Avery and Keaton) of Coaldale, Ab. She is also survived by her brother Andreas and his wife Lana (Dayna, Paige and Christopher) of Calgary, Ab.
She was predeceased by her mother Bridget Blume of Coronation, and father Jacques Laurent of Sydney, Australia. Even though she had lived in some of the most beautiful places in the world (Berlin, Sydney and Vancouver), her home on the ranch south of Coronation, was her most cherished place on earth.
The pride she showed decorating her home and yard was evident to all of those who visited. She was a creative soul who excelled at everything she tried.
She was an accomplished artist, photographer, seamstress, gardener and herbalist. She loved her animals, especially her dogs and horses.
Manon was never one to complain. Her strength, determination and optimism to get better was witnessed by everyone around her.
Manon loved to learn and research new things even if they weren’t conventional or the “norm.”
She was never afraid to voice her opinion or to take the road less travelled.
