Sue enjoyed reading, knitting and spending time with her grandchildren, family and friends.

Sue worked as dental hygienist for more than 40 years and developed relationships with many

of her patients due to her warm personality and kind demeanor. Many of these patients were

her own kid’s schoolmates which always made for fun stories.

She devoted time and energy to many charitable organizations including Clothes Closet at Holy

Family Church and creating baby layettes for mothers in need.

Sue was most proud of her grandchildren and loved nothing more than spending time with

them, from cousin sleepovers, baking cookies, art projects and attending their sports and

activities, she found great joy in watching them grow.

Sue was dedicated to her family and spent an amazing 68 years with Rick in her life, 52 years of

that married. She was a wonderful friend to many, she always put others before herself and was

available to lend a hand or an ear when one was needed.
