Susie did a fantastic job of working with my sister and I to get a really good understanding of Mum, us, and what we needed for a really top notch send off for our mother, known as the Matriarch of the Pass. She surfed her first wave in 1965 on the Island of Jersey, right up until her 80th birthday where she surfed her last wave at her favourite place, The Pass.

Susie helped us to pull together a truly unique ceremony on the Pass beach, followed by a scattering of her ashes and a surfer’s paddle-out. Susie was excellent at getting the balance right about what a truly incredible woman she was, but also with her own challenges.

It was a fitting send off for an adventuring surfer-businesswoman trailblazer like our mother Maggi.
