Sue was appreciated for making every holiday and birthday special for those she loved, and cherished every call, gift, and card that she received. The grandchildren will always remember her for Larita’s cookies, smarties and excitement to play for hours.
Sue attended Asbury United Methodist Church and was an active member of the Webster City Women’s Club. She enjoyed traveling, theater, genealogy and volunteering as a reading tutor for school kids, but most importantly she loved spending time with her beloved grandkids. Russ and Sue were able to travel across the United States and Europe, including Hawaii for their 40th Anniversary, and exploring Sue's ancestry in England, Ireland and Scotland.
In honor of Sue's memory, her family will create a reading corner in her name via an annual donation to Kendall Young Library to enhance the children department's collection of Wonderbooks and Vox Books. These books have an mp3 player attached to a printed book to enable kids to listen to the story while following along with the book.
