She was a light of life and so giving of herself to others! Her mother should be so proud raising such a wonderful person.

Sue was one-of-kind. I enjoyed doing field service work at Palmer knowing that I was going to get to see and talk to her, that´s the kind of positive energy she emitted. At least now we know Heaven´s baked goods will be stellar with Sue up there.

We will miss you Sue. Godspeed.

Sue was more than a plant manager..she was a friend,team player,and an amazing woman. I always strived in my heart to be as compassionate and strong a woman as her. Her love for her children, grandchildren,parents and siblings was so strong. No matter what the day if you needed her she was there to make your day easier. You messed up Sue was there to help fix it and clean up the mess. I needed a babysitter she found one for me. She will be missed by many people who she touched their life one way or another.
