Sue was a perfectionist who never had a hair out of place. She and her older sister chronicled the family history and transcribed the diaries of their great-grandmother, which offer a wonder glimpse into the world of 19th-century farm life in southern Ohio. I always enjoyed chatting with her. She had a keen intelligence and a curiosity that stuck with her well into her final years. She will be missed.
