She has now joined her true Valentine, Tom Nowak, who preceded her in death on August 20, 2008. She was a mom to her two sons and a second mom to many more. She enjoyed spending time with family and friends. There was always a spot at the kitchen table for a cup of coffee and some sound advice! She especially enjoyed being with her grandchildren attending their many extra curricular activities. The event of an auction or estate sale is something Sue enjoyed as a hobby. With many great friends, she began organizing estate sales to help others. She loved very much living by Lake Michigan, and the presence of a lighthouse.
