Sue lived in Seeley Lake for several years in the early 2000s working at the bank and Valley Market.

In August of 2013, she retired from Bank of Ann Arbor, Mich. due to her declining health. As the main office receptionist she truly enjoyed her job, co-workers and customers.

Sue was an avid EMU sports fan. She was a member of Blue Ocean Faith in Ann Arbor and enjoyed being a greeter there.
