Susan Renouf
Susan, Lady Renouf (born 1940) is an Australian socialite. Her title was acquired through her marriage to Sir Frank Renouf.
Born Susan Rossiter to Sir John Rossiter and Joan Stewart, she has been married three times:
- to Andrew Peacock, prominent Australian politician (in 1963)
- to Robert Sangster, British gambling tycoon (in 1978)
- to Sir Frank Renouf, New Zealand financier (in 1985)
Her daughter, Jane Chapple-Hyam, is a racehorse trainer in Britain.
In 1968, she was the focus of a minor political scandal in Australia when she appeared in print advertisements for Sheridan brand bedsheets while her then husband, Andrew Peacock, was a Minister in the Australian Federal Government.
In 1988, her third husband, Sir Frank Renouf, outlaid what was at the time the highest-ever price for a Sydney home, when he bought the mansion "Paradis sur Mer" in Wolseley Crescent at Point Piper, where the vendor was her second husband, Robert Sangster. The house was eventually razed.
In 2013 it was reported that Lady Renouf had been diagnosed with cancer.[1]
