I will always remember time visiting Sue & our family fun when we were children. I clearly remember going to see her at college & the good time we had . She visited us all in Maine on several occasions which she loved. I have many good memories to hold close.I'm grateful for her peace.

Susan J. Bigg held a Masters in Public Health and started her own Educational Consultant business, consistently taking a personal interest in a range of young clients as she found just the right school for them. She has left behind hundreds of grateful young men and women. She was also a Certified Educational Planner, Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association, and on the Board of the Independent Small Programs Alliance.
Sue adored her parents and devoted much of her life to them, and later, to their care.
All of Sue's New England cousins enjoyed her dry sense of humor and readiness to have some fun. I always looked forward to her visits and will miss her engaging intelligence and ready smile. Julie Bigg Veazey, Portsmouth, NH.

Sue was a colleague and a huge help to me when I started my practice. I visited her often at The Mather. She will be missed. She always spoke about Joanie and her nieces and nephews. Please accept my condolences on her passing.
