I knew Sue more than 20 years ago when I lived in Bridgman and was a member of the Bridgman Quilting Bees. Sue’s cheerful face and welcoming manner are with me still. The Bees made quilt squares for me when my family moved to NY, and the resulting lap quilt is one of my treasures. I am still touched by Sue’s giving spirit. She is always with you. Gail Leonard

Our Zoom buddy and quilting sister is gone from us now. We weren’t ready for Sue to leave us. She left a hole in our hearts and an emptiness in the room. But, because of her extraordinary quilting skills, her kindness, her willingness to help and teach and nurture, her amazing knowledge of history and her story telling gift, Sue will live on in all of our hearts. She leaves a legacy of love and caring. Each day the gifts she brought to us will enhance our lives. We remember Sue with smiles and warm memories. And, even though we feel a loneliness...a sadness that comes to us with her passing, we remember the words of J.M. Barrie: “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” May God bless and comfort the whole family as well as loving friends during these days of mourning and remembering. Cathy

The obituary for Sue is the most beautiful I have ever read in my life.
Though it was many years ago, Sue was a role model as we served our individual school buildings as union representatives. She recognized manipulation immediately, and skillfully called it out, all the while keeping a professional tone. Her communication skills were impeccable, and though she didn’t know it, she was teaching me. What a treasure to observe her, listen to her, understand her desire to be fair and equitable to all. Those lessons do not come from school, but are truly HIGHER education. Thank you, Sue.
To her family, she will always be with you. Beauty is all around you, see it each and every day; know that the universe was in Sue, and Sue was in the universe. Peace and love to you all.

It's with great sadness to realize we will never spend time with Sue again. She was always willing to teach a new technique, answer questions, help with solutions and just generally be a wonderful resource for any quilter that came to her for advice. I was also fortunate to join her and the others (for a short time) with the beginning of the Rug Hooking group. My deepest condolences to the family of Sue, she was a treasure and prepared you for all you have before you, you were loved.
