Miss Sue was one of the most beautiful people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was my daughter Colleens teacher for several years at Willowglen Academy. She helped turn my daughter's life around. She did so much above and beyond for all of her students. Every year the school had a Christmas party for the teachers etc. Miss Sue never went, instead, it was more important to her that the kids had a good meal and a good time. She would throw a party for her students in her classroom. She was such an up person. She was a natural for the kids. She was indeed a very special, giving, caring individual. I am so grateful she was a part of my daughter Colleens life. God bless her.

Sue was a wonderful neighbor and friend. As pioneers on Struble Place we entertained each other by our anecdotal stories, bragging about our gardens and pinochle. Meredith, Kristin and Matthew grew up together as the two families observed with joy! We were blessed to have known Sue and John and know that our memories will live on . God Bless you Meredith.
