She supervised over a dozen booth renters at the age of 17.

Sue loved to waterski, dance, garden and dedicated her life to helping those in need, both through the churches she attended and local mission work. She never liked missing out on a good estate sale. She loved hunting and was a remarkable shot; she cared deeply for animal life especially her dogs. She loved watching animal shows and loved her family most of all. She made friends easily and knew no stranger. Sue was loved by so many people of which her family is very grateful.
