Sue married Paul H Bringhurst on December 29, 1971, for time and all eternity, in the Oakland Temple. After moving several times with the Army, they eventually made their home in Orem UT.

Sue was a dedicated member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints her entire life. She served in many leadership and teaching positions in the Church, creating memorable lessons for the youth and primary.

Sue and Paul raised 5 wonderful children, and being a wife and mom were her most cherished roles. She loved to create "Super FHE's" for her family, and surprising them on holidays or special occasions with her thoughtful crafts.

Sue was very gifted in teaching and loving the youth, creating lasting relationships with many whom she taught. She was exceptionally skilled with many creative talents, especially scrapbooking. She loved to cook meals for her family, as well as make and decorate cookies. She was an avid reader who taught her young children to read. She loved journaling and writing poems.

The family would like to express our love and appreciation for iCare Home Health and Hospice Services, especially nurses Kristy and Kori, the staff at the Ashford Assisted Living, and all the medical personnel that have assisted through the years.
