Sue loved to travel and got to see many places in the world with some of her favorite people. Her love for travel inspired her work in the travel industry for most of her career. She loved to spend time with her friends and family, play cards, watch her shows, read books and laughing with her loved ones. She enjoyed her cousin reunions, family dinners and visiting with her family in different states. Her daily visits and calls with her sister Cathy brought her so much joy.

Sue was always there for everyone in her life. At every game, dance recital, play, award ceremony, graduation. She was always there to celebrate her loved ones every chance she got. Every life event she was there, the good and the bad. You never had to question her love and support. She was passionate about what she believed in and loved us all fiercely. She made you feel special and like you were the brightest star in the sky. She will now always be the brightest star in the sky. We are all better people for knowing her and will continue her legacy of loving each other fiercely.
