Sue worked as a hairstylist for nearly 40 years and opened Sue’s Hairitage, in 1980. She loved making people look great and chatting with them in her chair. Sue and Don had one son, Donny, in 1976. Sue was a very active mom; she was always going to Donny’s games and being the mom taxi for Donny and his friends. Sue enjoyed camping, fishing, skiing (water and snow), playing softball, golfing, and tending to her flower beds. She made a mean homemade salsa, with their home-grown tomatoes and peppers. She was always excited to spend her birthday gambling in Blackhawk. Sue loved being Grammy to her four grandchildren. She never missed a game, match, or concert.
