from Crook County High School

in 1976. After high school, she

married the love of her life, Rob

Phillips.

Sue will be remembered for her kind heart, beautiful

spirit, loving disposition, and her generosity. She

was as silly as she was stubborn; she loved her nieces

and nephews, her family, and her Lord. She was the

kind of person who was always there with a smile, a

hug, and a pat on the back.

Sue’s generous spirit drove her to do what she

loved, which was volunteer for the Larson Learning

Center. One of her greatest achievements in her lifetime,

was winning the Larson Learning Center “Volunteer

of the Year” award in 1999.

Her hobbies included gardening, baking, doing

puzzles, crafting, tending to her dogs and cats,

watching wrestling, boxing, and Duck Dynasty.

City, and Palm Springs to visit her nieces and

nephews.
