Sue cherished football season, as she
was the ultimate Buffalo Bills fan, and she could
easily convert you simply with her passion. Whether
an excellent play or a bad call, the entire town was
aware. Sue was also a 30-year member of the American
Pool Association, in which she qualified for
Nationals on three occasions. Sue enjoyed relaxing
on the beach, riding jet skis on the lake, watching
sunsets, and beating the slots into submission.
Sue’s home was always welcoming to family and
friends. She was the cornerstone by always providing
a shoulder to lean on, imparting sound advice and
keeping Dave out of trouble. Matthew and Megan will
forever cherish the support and love she bestowed
upon them. Whether enjoying wings, a cookout, or
simply a visit, Sue will lovingly be remembered for
her strength, friendship, good humor, mischievous
smile, and always with a Pepsi in hand (occasionally
blended with Bacardi).
Memorials may be made in Sue’s memory to Ronald
McDonald House at
