Sue loved the outdoors, nature, and animals. A long-time Laurel Gardens resident, summer nights were spent on her porch, greeting all who passed by. She spent 28 years as a lunch lady at North Hills High School. Following her retirement, she fed the wildlife and local strays. She enjoyed walking, hiking, swimming, camping, and browsing garage sales.
In lieu of flowers, family suggests donations to Humane Animal Rescue, 1101 Western Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15233. It was there that she found Andy, her best friend for the last ten years.
