Sue belonged to four local bridge clubs as an avid duplicate bridge player (and bridge teacher), enjoyed painting with both oils and water colors, was an accomplished seamstress, and loved reading every day!

Sue recently had breakfast (followed by hugs) with the founder, Will Jude, whom she has known his lifetime. She would be pleased if she could help build his school in Haiti.
