Sue grew up in West Texas and New Mexico with her parents, brother and sister. Although she was raised during the Great Depression, her mother instilled in her a need for an education which was uncommon at that time.
Sue graduated from Eastern New Mexico University with a degree in Elementary Education in 1952. As a young teacher in training, she was working in Artesia, New Mexico where she met her husband Henry of 65 years. They married on November 13, 1953 and later moved to east Texas for his job and where they started a family.
Her career in education was as a first grade and kindergarten teacher in north and south Louisiana.
After Sue and Henry retired, they became avid travelers visiting fun and exciting destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, North and South America. As a loving mother, she was always supportive of her children’s and grandchildren’s activities in sports, scouts and especially education and tried to attend as many games and contests as possible. All four of her children achieved college degrees and successful careers. She has been a loving and proud grandmother and great-grandmother. She will be forever missed by her family and by everyone who crossed her path.
Sue was an excellent cook and known for her Cajun and seafood specialties. She was particularly conscious of healthy eating. She loved to read, play board games, and enjoyed her many animals and pets over the years.
