Sue spent the second half of her life in North Carolina where she started her teaching in the Fort Bragg schools during which she established a circle of friends that she held until the day of her passing. She loved teaching but found her true calling following in her father's footsteps as a librarian in Fayetteville, NC. She also took on county-wide roles as a media coordinator and supervisor in the Cumberland and Pitt county school systems. She ended her career as a librarian at Ashbrook High School in Gastonia, NC.
Sue immensely enjoyed her retirement life with her husband on Lake Wylie, NC. Her favorite pastimes were reading, shopping, cooking, and spending time with friends and family. She adored being a dog mother as well (most often in possession of at least two golden retrievers).
