My prayers go out to the Powell family. I worked Sue at UCB in Chatham. She was a wonderful boss and person.

My deepest sympathy to the Powell family. I worked with Susie at Illini Bank and UCB in Chatham. We used to go to the mall on our lunch hour when Bergner's was having a big sale. We had a lot of fun together.

Dear Powell Family,
I knew Sue and her family when she lived in Auburn. We both worked for ILLINI BANK. She was a very devoted Mother, Daughter, a perfectionist and very intelligent lady. Im sure she will be at Peace, rejoining her parents and sister. Sincerely, Bobbie Berola, Auburn, Illinois
