Sue was born in Lafayette, Louisiana, to Ray and Betty Posner, where her dad was working for the summer. When she was two weeks old her family returned to Ohio where they lived until moving to Bishop, CA, in 1969. Sue received most of her education there. She enjoyed many camping trips in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with her parents and three brothers. In 1986 her family moved to Bend, where she continued to greatly enjoy camping trips, now in the Cascades. She finished her education in 1988 at Bend High School and went to work at the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon until January 2020. She also worked at Blockbuster from 2018 to January 2020. Currently she was enjoying volunteering at the Family Kitchen, participating in Parks and Rec activities, and going out with her longtime support, Tracy Laubach of the Central Oregon Collective. She was very well supported by High Desert Full Access. She loved her parish family at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
