Sue was born on October 9th, 1938 to Bernard and Charlotte Ginsburg in Fresno, CA. She studied theater at The Pasadena Playhouse prior to changing career paths and moving to Las Vegas. She worked at the Hacienda Hotel and Mutual of Omaha. Her proudest moments, however, were being a mother, grandparent, and great-grandparent. She has been a Las Vegas resident for over 60 years.

She is survived by her son Jay Ballen and his wife Twila, daughter Laurie (Ballen) Gnoyski and her husband Joe, grandchildren Justin Ballen, Tayler (Ballen) Hiehle, Tacey Ballen, Alyssa Gnoyski, Ashlyn Gnoyski, and great grandson Luka Hiehle.
