Sue was a proud member of the Maquoketa community and active in several organizations.

She was a former member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Kappa Delta Sorority, and the Maquoketa Library Board. She had also been a past Brownie and Cub Scout leader.

Many things gave Sue great joy, but her primary interest and focus was her family. She was a wonderful mother and caregiver. She loved children, reading biographies, baking and nature, especially hiking and picnics. Her favorite vacation spot was any place with a view of a lake or ocean.
