Sue recently attended her Eastern High School 70th reunion. A milestone that was so special that it was covered by WBAL news.

Sue was Blessed with her children, grandchildren, and her great grandchildren, with whom she loved unconditionally.
Sue often expressed how fortunate that she was to have numerous friendships, that she valued deeply.
Sue loved entertaining and cooking for her family, friends and neighbors. She was a great hostess and very good cook too. She made delicious cookies and her cornbread dressing was fantastic just to name a few.
Sue kept herself busy printing and cataloging photos. In her younger years she played golf and gardened. One of her passions was decorating inside her home for all of the holidays and different seasons. Sue liked cute keepsakes and special collectables (dolls) and especially pigs! Sue really loved steamed crabs and baseball. Describing Sue as an avid Oriole fan doesn't even come close. Sue really liked the slot machines at the casinos and occasionally went to the horse races. Sue liked her tablet and scrolling on the internet, playing on-line games and e-mailing.
Sue faced the life that she loved, with unending strength, patience, and endurance daily. Please don't mourn Sue's passing, but celebrate the years Sue lived. She left us so many memories of love and added so much to this world.
