I echo my brother“s words. Sue was a genuine part of our family and there was no one more loving or fiercely protective of her family and friends. She enjoyed critters of all kinds and was always available to lend a helping hand. I deeply miss my buddy Debbie and will equally miss her mom, Sue. Love to David and family.

Sue was a remarkable presence in our lives, having worked alongside my mother for many years at Audre's Yarn Shop located in Block's Plaza. Over time, she not only became a close colleague to my mother but an integral part of our family. I hold dear the guitar strap she meticulously crafted for me over four decades ago. In a time before Coors beer was accessible in our area, Sue demonstrated her dedication and resourcefulness by traveling to Colorado annually to bring back a select few "samples." Her engaging laughter and unparalleled common sense distinguished her as an exceptional friend. She had a profound love for her children and grandchildren, and her absence will be felt deeply. To David and the entire family, thank you for sharing your mother with us; it was a privilege to call her my friend.
