Susan Riek Obituary
'Sue'Sue Riek, 51, born February 16, 1956, died peacefully in her sleep Monday, September 3, 2007.
Sue was a long time member of Calvary Church and currently Central Church of God. She was a servant of the Lord and gave her whole life to her Savior and others. She was a person who would give her last dollar away to help someone in need.
Sue is survived by her loving daughters, Kaytee and Sara; her mother, Virginia Spadafore of Pittsburgh, PA; and her siblings, Virginia Sanders, Jim (Amy) Spadafore, Nancy (Paul) Peters, Patty and Joe Spadafore. She is also survived by her devoted and caring friends, Penny Bright, Lori Tolly, Janice Hall, Suzanne Fernandez and many others too numerous to mention.
Sue now resides with her father, Ralph Spadafore, Sr. and her brother, Ralph Spadafore, Jr. in the house of our Lord.
A service celebrating Sue's life will be held at 3:00 PM Saturday, September 8, 2007 at Central Church of God, 5301 Sardis Rd, where she attended faithfully. The family will gather beginning at 1:30 PM, prior to the service and at the church, to greet friends.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made in Sue's name to: Gethsemane Garden Christian Center P.O. Box 472804 Charlotte, NC 28247.
The Riek family is in the care of Gaskin Services, Matthews, www.gaskinservices.com.

Sue was a remarkable person. She
always had a smile even though you
knew she was in pain. We miss her
terribly and think of her often. We
know she is now in peace with the Lord.

Your Mom will be sorely missed. She was a ray of sunlight...always
a smile on her face and we knew how
she suffered with pain. We will miss her deeply. I was one of her
Bunco friends and we will have a
moment of silence and prayer for her next week. Our prayers go to
both of you and her family.
Love, Terry & Richard Dvorak

Dear Kaytee and Sara,
Your mom was such a beautiful person, both physically and spiritually. Even though we hadn't been in contact, I know that she was so proud of both of you. You were her everything. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
