Sue grew up in Duxbury, MA where she graduated from Duxbury High School, class of 1976. She was married in 1980 where she became a military wife and mother, and later divorcing in 1994. She was an Administrative Secretary for over 20 years working at Queen Anee's and Harbor House both in Hingham, MA. Sue would then retire from Shell Point in 2015 in Fort Myers, FL. She was an avid watcher of True Crime movies and TV shows, Walker Texas Ranger, CSI Miami, Blue Bloods and more. She enjoyed chatting with friends on the phone, driving out to beach and spending time with her children and grandkids on the weekends. She was a “Thrift Store Queen” and an avid antique shopper who enjoyed decorating and had a remarkable eye for design. She enjoyed baking, but we all knew her by her home-made Lasagna that was her best dish next to her favorite soup recipe: Turkey Soup. She loved Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Journey and more, enjoyed watching America's Got Talent and The Voice. She enjoyed coloring, card games and solving crossword puzzles in her free time. She loved sunsets and palm trees, as well as playing with and loving on all her fur-grand babies. She was a true pet lover at heart. Her sense of humor, quick wit and loving nature to all will be remembered the most to all who knew her. Her smile and laugh were one of a kind.
