An amazingly creative and kind friend whom I´ve known since our early days in 4-H and riding our horses. Her musical skills and very talented way she taught her piano students was remarkable. Not to mention her gardening techniques and the uncanny way she knew how to fix most anything. Her kitties will miss her......she was always willing to help others. Ride to your hearts delight and vibrate those piano keys wherever you are Sue

Sue and I went through school together.Though we didn´t hang out often, she was always busy (cheerleading, riding horses) but when we did, we always had fun! Susan was always bubbly, I can´t remember many times when she wasn´t. She was talented in so many things! She will be very missed.

Sue was a kind, funny, creative, and caring person. She taught piano lessons to my daughter and my father for many years. She became a family friend. I´m so very sorry. She will be missed.
