Sue dedicated much of her life to serving the Lord and her church community. She was a Sunday school teacher who poured love and wisdom into generations of children, a member of the praise and worship team whose voice lifted hearts in worship, and a youth pastor who guided and inspired many young people with her compassion and faith. Her ministry touched lives in ways that will be felt for years to come.
