Sue was a lot of fun! She enjoyed reading, music, dancing, crossword puzzles, animals, and the night sky.
She also had a terrific sense of humor. Sue baked the finest blueberry pie you’ve ever tasted and did everything she could to make her family feel special. Her absence will be deeply felt. Her request for cremation was carried out.
