Sue was a faithful member of St. Peter’s Catholic Church in Hoover. She had an incredible love for her family and loved spending time with her widowers group. She was a strong, independent, beautiful, bold, funny, kind and charismatic, spirit that will live on in all of us forever. She taught us to live a life loving Jesus and sharing that with others. We can’t forget that she also taught us how to make true Italian spaghetti sauce from scratch and even a few Yankee dishes that were delicious. Sue will be truly missed by all that new her.
