She enjoyed any adventure, from her trips to Italy and Florida, international cruises, and just getting in the car and driving. Sue loved to cook, and hosted an annual holiday cookie baking day which was a favorite tradition. She deeply loved every minute she was able to spend with her grandkids, she attended every sporting event, graduation, and special occasion that time allowed. Sues loving personality, kind heart, and witty humor will be greatly missed.Our mother taught us how a life of self-giving and unconditional love is one to aspire to. We take comfort knowing this is just for now, for our faith tells us we will see her again.
