Sue Anne Bartlett

Sylvia "Sue" Anne Bartlett (born 1942) is a Canadian curler, originally from Labrador City. A member of the Canadian Curling Hall of Fame, she is a 12-time Newfoundland provincial women's champion, and two-time runner up at the Canadian women's curling championship.

Born in Grand Falls, Newfoundland, Bartlett moved to Labrador City in 1963 and began curling in 1964.

Career Women's Bartlett and her rink of Ann Bright, Francis Hiscock and Mavis Pike won their first provincial women's championship in 1971, earning the team the right to represent Newfoundland at the 1971 Canadian Ladies Curling Association Championship in their home province. In their first national championship, the rink went 4–5, finishing in 7th place. Later that season, Bartlett won a provincial mixed title in 1971, playing third on a team skipped by Horst Illing.

Bartlett, Bright, Hiscock and Pike won their second provincial title in 1972. The four won their third provincial title in 1974.

Bartlett won her fourth provincial title in 1976 with new third Patricia Dwyer replacing Bright on the team. The team won a second straight provincial championship in 1979. Seven and half hours later, Bartlett was back on the ice for the semifinal against 1978 Canadian champion Chris Pidzarko rink representing Manitoba. In their fifth game in 27 hours, the team were easily defeated 10–2, finishing third overall.

The next season, Narduzzi was replaced at second on the team by Beverley Whitten. The team won their third straight provincial in 1980. The team won a fourth straight provincial title in 1981, with a new front-end of Jo Ann Bepperling at lead and Narduzzi back on the team at second. This put the team into the semifinal against Manitoba, skipped by Joan Ingram. Bartlett downed Manitoba 6–5 in front of 2,890 fans, after Ingram missed an "almost impossible shot" in the last end, giving up a steal. This put Newfoundland into the final against Alberta, skipped by Susan Seitz. Seitz had only lost one game in the round robin, and that was against Newfoundland. The team did not play as well as they had in the semifinal, losing to Alberta 7–3 in front of approximately 3,000 fans. In the final, Bartlett only curled 57%, much worse than her average for the week of 68%, compared to Seitz who curled 67% in the final.

Bartlett would not win another provincial championship until 1985, when she won her ninth trip to the national championship (now called the Tournament of Hearts) with a new front end of Margaret Knickle and Debra Herbert (Porter). Bartlett easily defeated Seitz 8–2, putting them into the semifinal against Nova Scotia, skipped by Virginia Jackson. Nova Scotia had earned a direct entry to the semis by drawing straws against the other two teams. Newfoundland easily beat Nova Scotia as well, sending Bartlett to the final against British Columbia's Linda Moore rink. In the final, Newfoundland gave up a five-end in the first end, and were down 8–0 after three. The team battled back, but it was too little, too late, and ended up losing to B.C. 13–7.

Bartlett again won provincials in 1986, with Narduzzi back at second.

Four years later, Bartlett won her 11th provincial title with Wendy Chaulk now at lead, and Porter throwing second stones, replacing Narduzzi. At the Hearts, she finished with a 6–5 record, tied for fourth place. After the season, Dwyer and Chaulk left the team as Dwyer had moved to Kingston and Chaulk was being transferred out of Labrador City.

Bartlett won her final Newfoundland provincial women's championship in 1992 with a new team consisting of Marcie Brown, Helen Nichols and Kathy Combden. At the 1992 Scott Tournament of Hearts, Bartlett had her worst ever tournament, going 1–10. Even with the lone win, Bartlett finished the tournament as the winningest curler (male or female) ever at a Canadian championship at the time, with a career 66 wins.

Seniors After turning 50, Bartlett was eligible to play in seniors curling. Bartlett won six Newfoundland and Labrador provincial seniors titles (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000). Her real name is "Sylvia Anne", but was called "Sue Anne" since she was a baby.
