She is a member of Vestavia Hills Baptist Church in Decatur and she loved her church family.
She was known for her smile, laughter, caring nature and her generosity. People who were fortunate enough to meet her were quickly drawn into a special relationship with her.

Sue was a remarkable woman who started as a secretary and worked her way up to becoming the plant manager at Chore Time Equipment, which was a predominately male operated industry. She was the type of person that brought out the best in others. This was true at work, with her family and in her personal life. She will be missed by all those that knew her.
