She graduated from William Adams High School in Alice, Texas. She loved to read, to play the penny slots at Kickapoo, and to play games with her family. She taught many a grandchild and great grandchild the card game "Spite and Malice", which was a family favorite. She was active in the Nueces County Junior Livestock Show and a member of First Evangelical Lutheran Church in Orange Grove. Sue had a love of life and a laugh that set her apart from others. She always told you the truth even if it wasn't what you wanted to hear. She was quick with a laugh and no one remained a stranger for long. She was also well known for her cookie baking. We learned many things from Sue, including: -never let your gas get below half a tank. -always clip coupons. -don't call during "Jeopardy". -you can freeze almost anything. -you should vacuum your house at least twice a week, or every day when you have guests.
