As a young woman, Suzanne left her small town life behind and moved to Montreal. It was there on 11 January 1897, she married 24-year old Edward FLYNN, who at the time was a steward and later became a clerk and then a grocer. Their daughter Marie-Aurea-Helena FLYNN was born in September 1897, but died less than a year later. As the eldest child, Suzanne seems to have fallen into the role of family caretaker. During the 1901 Census, Suzanne and Edward lived in Montreal in a 3-room house at 452 Wolfe Street with her widowed father and her bachelor brother Abondance. Edward earned $640 that year and he and Suzanne had no children with them. They are thought not to have had any more babies. On 30 September 1940, Edward died in Montreal. Suzanne lived another 21 years before passing away in Montreal on 26 Dece! mber 1961. Both of them were buried in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges Catholic Cemetery in Montreal.
