Sue was a friend of mine at George School. I have never forgotten what a sweet and loving person she was. I am
sad to hear of her death through the Georgian magazine and just wish to add my belated condolences to her family. Reading the other entries it certainly sounds as if she ran
true to the promise of a delightful young woman. Sincerely,
Mary McKinney, George School class of 1952

Joan and I were saddened to hear of Sue’s passing. She will always be remembered for her cheerful smile, positive outlook and her willingness to always pitch in to help where she could. As a young married couple she was saddled with taking care of me several times and I will never forget her kindness and generosity to make me feel at home. Stopping in to visit with her several years ago and walking the Carol Woods property with her we were reminded of how much she was liked. On behalf of the members of the Fletcher Camp on Pine Creek, and me, our prayers are with her and know that she will be missed.

All our love,
