She delighted in the family gatherings where she displayed her excellent cooking and baking skills. It was also common throughout her entire adult life to entertain people, both young and old, by welcoming them in her and Jon's home. She always maintained a steady, gentle and caring way about herself displaying grace and kindness to all those she knew and met. Sports were also a big part of her life as she supported and encouraged her son Jay throughout his athletic running career at both Carmel High School and Indiana University. Sue was an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds, Indiana Hoosiers, Cincinnati Bengals and Indianapolis Colts. Upon Jon's retirement from the medical field in 1995, they moved to Burt Lake, Mich.
