In loving memory of Susan Boorman who sadly passed away on 6th June 2022
Our beloved Susan ‘Sue’ Boorman was a amazing,caring and loving wife,mother,grandmother,sister, aunty and friend.
She sadly passed away at her home in West Hallam on Monday 6th June 2022 aged 74. She was surrounded by her loving family.
She grew up in a loving supportive Christian home with her parents Victor and Muriel Hope and shared a happy childhood with her brothers Stephen and Andrew before embarking on her nursing career and meeting the great love of her life Graham.
Together they had three children, David,Louise and Emma and later were blessed with 7 precious grandchildren Dave, Lewis,Poppy,Martha,Gabriel,Rufus and Esther who she loved and cared for with every ounce of her being.
Susan and Graham were blessed with almost 54 years of wonderful marriage. Susan cherished life and loved nothing more than spending time with her family.
Susan had a successful and fulfilling career as a school nurse for many years where she was able to express her caring spirit.This was an inspiration to all three of her children who followed in her footsteps as health care professionals.
She loved the warmth of the sunshine and enjoyed many holiday adventures in the UK, around Europe and further afield,her favourite place being Madiera which her and Graham visited countless times making precious memories together and also with family and friends.
Susan loved baking and made the most amazing cakes, she loved reading and even wrote her own autobiography for family to read and treasure,
She loved the simple pleasures of walking through nature and going out for lunch.
She was incredibly proud of her children and grandchildren and valued her role as a mother and grandmother above all else.
She was a kind, compassionate,beautiful,clever and witty lady who enriched the lives of everyone around her.
She became unwell in July 2009 and was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma. She met her diagnosis and the progression of her illness with grace, courage and a determination to fight and live her life to the full which she succeeded to do over the following years.
Susan was actively involved in Lymphoma charities and research. As a part of this she networked, made lasting friendships with fellow sufferers and became her own expert in the field in the disease process.She took charge of her illness and treatments with a committed mindset. Through this journey she was able to give and receive much support and comfort to others and participated in attending national events and fund raising.
She never once complained and had a ‘never surrender’ attitude motivated by all the things she held most dear in life.
She valued every day as a blessing and found comfort in the love and support of her family and friends.
Her Christian faith gave her strength and peace in the knowledge that she was in the hands of God.
Her lasting wishes were for those who loved her to remember her with fondness and appreciate all that life gives.
A funeral service is scheduled for 11.00hrs on Thursday 30th June at West Hallam methodist church, High lane West DE76JN followed by a grave side prayer as she is laid to rest at Park cemetery Ilkeston, DE75HT
There will be light buffet and refreshments at West Hallam White Rose cricket club DE76HE for her loved ones to meet, reflect and share their memories.
Susan wished for the day to be one of celebration of her life and as such requested that people wear colourful clothing.
Rather than flowers, her request was for donations to her chosen charities to enable the vital research and support into Follicular lymphoma to continue.
We invite you to follow the link to find details of the service, Just giving pages and the opportunity to share your thoughts and condolences.
Much love Graham and family x

Susan was such a special cousin of mine. I will forever remember the first time I had seen her in 35 years, in 2012, she gave me the biggest hug, it was such a warm and welcome feeling, it wiped away the 35 years since we had seen each other.
We need more people in this world like Sue. The world is a better place because of her, and emptier with her gone.
Forever love, Jonathan
The first and only time I met Susan was in 2014. I have thought back on that visit many times in the last 10 years because I always remember how wonderful Susan was. She made our experience in Nottingham so special because of who she was. Her beautiful heart just naturally made everything seem so special. It's what made my memory of her last so long and with such fondness.
As time goes by never fear, the essence of Susan will stay with me always, her generosity, thoughtfulness, graciousness, loveliness but most importantly her ability to make everyone feel genuinely valued and cared for.
Love Dianne

All my love for eternity <3 xxx

"Auntie" Sue was such a big part of my life, growing up. I remember bringing my slippers to the house, when you looked after us for the day, sleeping in the orange tent in the garden, playing in the caravan, and making sure we stayed quiet when the Coronation Street music started! Such a loving mum and grandma. My thoughts are with Graham, David, Louise and Emma and their families. With much love. Jane. x

Big sister Sue was the most amazing sister a brother could ever have. She heard my first cry, hugged me when just a few minutes old and pushed me often in the pram. For 67 years she was an inspiration and very close friend, always there to share with and talk through on the journey of life. Sue did not like man made religion but had a strong faith in Jesus Christ. Rest dear Sue in the arms of God, soon we shall all be reunited together. Thanks for your example and support. Love you forever big Sis. Andy. Xxxxxxx
