Sue was an avid homemaker who enjoyed reading, gardening, canning, and spending time outdoors. Most of all, Sue treasured her family. Throughout her life, she devoted herself to nurturing and caring for others. From an early age, Sue developed a strong work ethic while working on her parents' farm and caring for her younger siblings-a value she later instilled in her own children.
On March 18, 1954, she married Charles, and together they raised seven strong children, whom she nurtured with love and compassion. In her later years, Sue found great fulfillment in caring for her parents and helping with her grandchildren, especially Adam.
Sue dedicated her life to her family, a source of unwavering joy and pride. She will be remembered as a loving mother, grandmother, and a woman whose kindness and devotion touched all who knew her.
