Not sure what to say?

Like many I knew Sue through DAR: because of DAR members have friends all over the world! It was a true joy to know Sue-never knew all that she had done before members were blessed to have known her. One of the first to have Covid-19, she fought back against long COVID. Just would not let it get her down. Sue was an inspiration to all. We are better people for having known her!

I enjoyed working with Sue for ten years. She was not only extremely capable, but she always had a way of making everyone welcomed and appreciated. Upon our retirement, I would also catch up with Sue at naturalization ceremonies that we both participated in. She enjoyed a life well lived!

Susan was a very caring and helpful person. I called on her for advise and help alot and she was always there. She will be missed.

Suzanne was a very active and wonderful mentor for her sisters sisters in the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Regents/Ex-Regents Organization send their condolences. Her warmth and Friendship will be more missed.

As a member of the DAR I know how dedicated Suzanne was to the organization. I once saw her out shopping wearing DAR clothing. She told me she always wore DAR items to bring awareness to the organization, you never know if someone is interested.

Had a passion for travel and exploration.

I met Sue when she worked at the MVPC and then when we both transferred to CNYDSO, amazing friendship that spanned 44 years. Whenever I would see her out in the stores we would talk and catch up. She was a strong willed woman who led her life by doing what she wanted, saying what she felt and living life to her fullest. She will be missed but her memory will always shine through, her strength and courage as she accepted her fate. She is now at peace and on her heavenly journey. Thank you for...
