NOt seeing an obituary for the wife of Dr John Byles, so will remove her full name in my posts and replace with an initial.

Found an obituary notice for Susan Byles, daughter of Dr John Byles and granddaughter of Stephen and Pearl Byles... in the Western Law Alumni Magazine, 2009.  See page 54 of the magazine (image 56)

Susan's obituary in the Globe and Mail newspaper as well.  Pretty much the same as the obit in the Western Alumni magazine.  It says Susan passed away on January 16, 2009 in Toronto.  (Magazine just had the month).
