My sincere condolences to Tom, Kevin and Caryn. The world has lost a gentle, kind spirit. It seems like only yesterday when we were children running through the corn fields beyond your home on Azalea Drive after many a Sunday dinner with your family. I can still see your wry smile and hear snippets of your keen, acerbic wit. You always had a strong moral compass and were a strikingly forthright
woman. Like your Mom, you were an exceptionally creative, hard working, entrepreneurial individual. Like your Mom, you welcomed friends and family alike to your home. You worked hard, played hard and lived life with gusto to its fullest measure. Too soon, gone too soon. My deepest sympathy to all her family and dear friends.
Your cousin, Mary Ann Sewell

Best dog watcher ever!! One of my favorite memories of Sue is our many nights spent at the dog park with Buddy and Leo. We always had a lot of laughs. And the bantering that used to go on between Caryn and Sue was always hysterical. She will be missed. Praying for the family!❤️

Our deepest sympathy in Sue's passing. I was shocked to read it in the paper. We had fun playing fistball at the V.E. Club and then golfing together. May she rest in peace. Our prayers go to you Tom and your children. Love, Ron and Jean Ricce

I am shocked to see the obituary for Sue in the paper. Sue was such a good person to talk with at the Warminster Dog park when she was there with Leo. She will definitely be missed by all. Sue also kept me up to date on Jeanne who I played soccer with many years ago (like when she had a broken leg). My thoughts are with the family

It was with much sadness to hear of Cousin Sue's passing.
Sue was a kind, considerate and thoughtful human being.
Sue was generous and welcoming, especially to my parents
Norma & Reds Sewell. Sue included them in her numerous
cookouts & pool parties.
What I always liked about Sue was that she was honest, candid
and straightforward. You always knew exactly where
you stood with Sue. Sue was never pretentious.
My sister Mary Ann Sewell and I shall keep Sue in our prayers
along with her grieving family.
To Tom, Caryn & Kevin, there are no woods sufficient enough
to soften the tremendous blow of losing a great wife and a
most caring , loving and devoted mother.
Deepest sympathy,
Cousin Johnny Sewell

To my best friend who has been like a sister to me for 65 years. As children we built tree forts & snow igloos. Every day after school we watched I Love Lucy. Our lives continued to grow through high school, marriage and raising our children. For over 20 years we have shared adventures and vacations together. I thank you for all the wonderful years and the friends I have made through you. I will miss you forever. 💔

Invariably when Joe and I get together the conversation turns to Gail,Sue,Denise and Holly and what ever became of them you were never far from our thoughts or good wishes Sue even though its been a long time since we all did get together, when we all hung out we were all teenagers and those memories are still with us today, Sue, Joe and myself wish you God speed and for those friends who didn't know Sue when she was a teenager she was one classy girl and both of us are better for those years when you were part of our lives,once again God speed Sue.

Sue and I had many memories when our children were younger. Sue had a heart of gold and looked out for everyone. We had many laughs and as our children grew we saw less of each other. But sue leaves a beautiful legacy because she raised two wonderful children who turned out to be wonderful adults and that is a credit to who Sue was. I will miss you my friend. Heaven gained one hell of an angel. Be at peace.
Love, Rita

Sue was my very good friend for over 30 years. I am Godmother to her lovely daughter Caryn. Sue was such a great athlete and we played many sports together including racquetball, softball, and her latest love, Pickleball. We took many trips and vacations together. We loved dogs and both were dog walkers. I will miss her terribly and she will always be in my heart. Caryn, Kevin and Tom, I am so very sorry and I will always be here for you, now and forever. Love, Aunt Linda
