She grew up in Claflin, KS., and in 1970 moved with her family to Arizona. In 1988 Sue married Mike Rue. Sue retired from the Tempe School District where she loved being the Rover Elementary School secretary. In 2007 Mike and Sue moved to Parker Colorado to be near Sue's granddaughters, Isabella, Avary,and Brice. They missed their family and friends in AZ and so they got a vacation home there too in 2009. Sue loved being with her family and friends, travelling, reading, hiking, and church. Sue is survived by her husband Mike, her children Andrea Morrissette of Highlands Ranch, co, Kevin Curry, Cheyenne,WY, and Todd Curry of Phoenix, AZ,, her granddaughters Isabella, Brice and Avary, her sister Sandy Edmond, and mother Opal, both of Fort Worth, TX.

Sue Rus was the first person to greet me at the school I would then teach at the next 18 years. Her warm love and sarcasm made me feel so much at home at Rover. Years after she retired she would bring yummy treats to the staff on holidays, and her voice remained in the school's recorded greeting. I would laugh and smile each time I heard her unmistakeable tone. I will miss her!

I met Sue through our working as a school secretary at TD#3. Through work, gatherings, hiking, Joe and I shared many hours with Sue and Mike. We both loved her Oatmeal Cookies. A beautiful Lady.
