Have 2 years passed since Sue's passing? Connie Richards and I attended her memorial service in Sunbury. She was a very active member of our AAUW organization in Delaware, OH. Our AAUW group has dissolved and is no longer, too. Sue was a friend. I drove her to AAUW activities many times. She is still remembered. Barbara Martin

I first met Miss Hoskins as a Med Surg. Instructor my second year of nursing training. She made sure we understood what she was teaching. I next met her when she came to work with me in CCU at Grady. She also ask me 10 years or so to talk to her students at Marion Tech about wound and skin care. What started as teacher she became a friend..

Sue was one of the best nursing instructors that I ever had! I had transferred into the program and was very nervous. She had a great sense of humor and she was able to teach in such a way that it was like learning from a friend. I also loved that she worked at Children's Hospital in the summer to keep up her skills. She set the example through her actions that lifelong learning is so important.

My family knew Sue, her husband Todd and children Amy and Morgan in the 70s. Wonderful lady who had a wonderful family.
My aunt Ginny and her family rented one half of their home on Lincoln AVE in the early 70s. My own family rented that property for a few months while we were waiting for our new home to be finished. Her husband Todd was our dentist.
Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of this exceptionally talented and kind lady.
