Sue enjoyed spending time with her family, watching her kids play sports, being a girl scout leader, and was always crafting something new. She recently took up photography and was loving being able to get back outside in nature following a hip replacement surgery in 2018. Her biggest passion though was her 10 grandkids ranging from 2 months to 17 years old. She cherished spending every minute she could with them.
