So saddened to hear of Sue’s passing. Always a bright star when entering the room. As the older sister of my best friend, Jan, I recall so many good times we spent together in our younger days before marriage & kids. What I recall over all the years when seeing Sue is just how funny she was, always making me laugh. Sue had an uncanny way of looking at things using her perspective to spin it into a good laugh. We will miss you Sue and will forever keep your funny sense of humor in mind to lighten & brighten our days. May peace be with you & your family you so dearly loved always!

Sue had a great sense of humor and brought joy & happiness to my father! Lexi & Chuck, her furry sweethearts, were constant companions to them. A memorial donation to DCHS in Sue’s memory has been made.
