Anyone who knew Sue knew she was a vibrant and precious soul, she would give the shirt off her back to help a stranger. She was as goofy as can be and would do anything to see the ones she loved laugh and smile. She was the glue to her family and cherished all the time she got with them. She loved anything pink and blingy, went no where without a can of coke and made sure to always keep the front yard mowed. She loved decorating for Christmas with her husband and being the brightest house on the block.
There wasn’t a day that she didn’t make the best of, throughout her life even down to her last breath, she stayed positive and determined and fought with her all.
