Sue went to high school at Mynderse Academy in Seneca Falls, New York. Sue then graduated from Nazareth University in Pittsford, New York.

Sue lived a life of service. She worked as a mental health counselor for over 20 years at Calvert Memorial Hospital after staying home to raise her two daughters in their early years. In 2013, after retirement, she moved to North Carolina to care for her husband of almost 45 years. Her children, and particularly her grandchildren, were her pride and joy. Sue loved all things fashionable, sparkly, and revelled in the simple pleasures of twinkle lights and candles.

Sue died following a battle with cancer. Her final days were spent in Lower Cape Fear LifeCare hospice center of Bolivia where she received excellent care and was surrounded by the love of her family. There will be no service and a celebration of life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you donate to Lower Cape Fear Hospice https://lifecare.org/donate/ and or the Solomons Mission Center http://www.solomonsmissioncenter.org/ where her daughter Kelly is Executive Director helping to serve the community where the Guilfoyle family called home for over 20 years.
