A Lincoln native, recently residing in Roseville. Sue was born July 1, 1948, in Auburn, Calif., and passed away December 30, 2009, just three weeks after learning she had cancer.

A service will be held at The Lincoln Funeral Home, 406 H Street, Lincoln, Calif., on Friday, January 8, 2010, at 10 a.m. A celebration of her life will be held immediately following at the Lincoln Veteran's Memorial Hall, 541 5th Street, Lincoln, CA. Donations can be made to the American Cancer Society in her name.

Kelly,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always so nice to me when I was a kid. Remember when our moms made home-made ice cream sundaes / banana splits? That's the first time I realized how special Sue really was! :)
My thoughts are with you Kelly,

Dear Kelly, Brenda, Rocky and Jim, and rest of family. I was so sorry to hear about Sue's crossing! Tho I hadn't saw much of her in recent years, I will always remember the many good times we shared! She was a sweet, funny, friendly person with much to give! She was great with my mom as a hairdresser. My mom loved her too. We ALL did.
Love to all!!

Dear Kelly & family,
So sad to hear about your mom. I adored her and she was so kind to me. I remember many haircuts and fun stuff she would do on me when my mom wouldn't! Wish I could attend her service but please know she will be in my thoughts and it will make me smile thinking of her...........

I don't think I have seen Sue since we graduated from Lincoln High in 1966. I believe I knew her from the 1st grade on. I remember her as a sweet, gentle, quiet girl who was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. May you be blessed with wonderful memories.

Kelly and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have great memories of Sue. It seemed I was always at your house when we were growing up (7th grade - high school) and she was always great to be around. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
