Social expectations assumed that a wife’s primary responsibilities belonged inside the home.

Susan did not accept that limitation.

She continued practicing medicine.

The couple had two sons, Caryl and Pierre.

Susan became a mother while remaining a physician and community advocate.

The combination made an already demanding life even more difficult.

She sometimes took her children with her on medical calls.

The family eventually settled in Walthill.

Henry’s health later declined, and alcohol became a serious problem in his life.

His struggle influenced Susan’s public campaign against alcohol.
