Sue was preceded in death by her parents as well as her siblings; Ella Jean Wood, Bill Matson, Hope Michael, Skip Matson, Joy Bennett, Patty Matson, Bob Matson, and her infant brother, James Matson.

Sue was a kind, loving, funny, smart, and beautiful person. She was everything anyone could ever have wanted in a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend.

She loved her family deeply and cherished her friends, and she was always there for anyone who ever needed her. Sue will forever live in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
