Obituary

MADISON-Susan Elizabeth Cole “Sue” Allfrey, age 65, of Madison, passed away on Friday, Feb. 15, 2019, at home. She was born on Dec. 2, 1953, the daughter of Charles and Katherine (Moore) Cole, in Decatur, Alabama. Sue graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Occupational Therapy. She married Warren Allfrey on July 22, 1994 in England. Sue’s life is a picture of devotion: to her Lord Jesus Christ, her family, friends and anyone she could serve. She was a missionary in Europe with Youth With A Mission for 13 years. For several years she worked as an Occupational Therapist in Stoughton, Wisconsin and in more recent years she took care of the bookkeeping for Lazarus Veterinary Clinics while being very involved with family and being a leader in the women’s ministry in her church. Some of the words that come to mind when you think of Sue are sweet, selfless, servant heart, lover of God, lover of family, devoted, passionate about serving her Lord and loving people. Sue is survived by husband, Warren; sisters, Jan Sappington and Martha (Dave) Whitlock; uncle, Richard Moore; nephews, Brandon (Sarah) Diaz and Aaron (Julie) Whitlock; nieces, Lindy Diaz, Marli (Scott) Diaz Penderis and Emily Whitlock; great-nieces, Madisyn Tucker, Hayden Diaz and Paige Whitlock; and great-nephews, Chase Enz, Cole Diaz, Landon Whitlock and Preston Penderis. She was preceded in death by her parents. A Funeral Service will be held at GUNDERSON FITCHBURG FUNERAL AND CREMATION CARE, 2950 Chapel Valley Rd, Madison, at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019.

Beautiful Sue - I know you are in Heaven with Jesus, but I miss you! I cherished our love for seeking God together. We laughed a lot and shared so many heartfelt discussions. You valued hospitality, and showed it so well. I looked up to you as my mentor because of your kindness, and your love. I always felt listened to, Sue. You’ll always have a piece of my heart.

Sweet loving Sue, Thank you for loving and serving others well! I know that everyone who met you, felt loved and valued. You were my mentor and dear sweet friend! I will never forget the time I called you in deep sadness and I asked if you and Warren would pray for me. You invited me over and you both prayed for me and imparted wisdom. God spoke to me through you both. You also had me seek the Lord by myself and write down what God said. God spoke to me powerfully that day at your home! I left your house with my peace and joy restored. God's loving and peaceful presence was always with you and I feel so blessed to have known you. My heart is broken from losing you, but I know you are praising God in heaven free from pain now. Until I see you again, dear friend!

My dear friend, that is who you were and always will be to me. I’m so grateful for your generous and kind heart. Your words of wisdom and encouragement for me to persue my dreams and passion for becoming a missionary in Africa will always and forever inspire me. Thank you for loving me well. I miss you so much already. I’ll care you with me wherever I go. Thanks for everything you’ve done for me big or small. I’m so grateful to have had the privilege to stay with you and Warren a few months last year in between being in Africa. You had such a big heart. I love you now and always Sue.
