Never heard anyone call her Susan, she was always "Sue". Met Sue @ USPS GMF where we both worked. As retirees we both belonged to local NAPS, AARP & NARFE chapters. I saw her every month at Campbell AARP meetings & every other month at NARFE meetings. She was actively involved with many groups & enjoyed friendships with many. God Bless my friend & her family. We are missing her.
