She was a graduate of Columbus East High School and West Virginia State University where she majored in Education. She began her teaching career in Charleston, S.C.. This was during the civil rights marches in the 60's and Sue was happy to participate in the protests. After moving back to Columbus to help take care of her mother, she became a special education teacher at Champion Middle School. She then moved on to become a Safety and Security Officer with Cols.

Sandra was also a member of St. Paul AME Church where she was a Sunday School Teacher and worked in the Nursery Department. During this time, she battled breast cancer and survived two bouts of this cancer. The treatments did not keep her down and she was so proud to be a survivor.

She was a faithful member of The Topnotchers, Inc.. This was a social club, but they also raised funds to donate to the care of the children at Children's Hospital specifically research for Sickle Cell Anemia in Children. The membership included some lifelong friends who had known each other since first grade, Patsy Ulmer, Toia Lee and Sue.

The family is grateful to all the friends and family who stayed in touch throughout her illness. Especially those who visited with her and kept her spirits high. She is now at peace.
