She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, Ann Mason (Don), her brother, Vernon Bunch (Jane), her nephew, Jason Bunch (Courtney), her niece, Kelly Bunch, her great nephew, Levi Wetzel, and her great niece McKinlee.

Sue is leaving behind her loving cat, Cookie.

She was predeceased by her husband of 27 years, Rusty; parents, BV Bunch, and Frances Bunch; and a special aunt who helped to raise her, Ruby Hensley.

Sue was born in Warrenton, Virginia, on December 17, 1956. She graduated from Culpeper County High School in 1975, received her undergraduate degree from James Madison University in 1979 and her

graduate degree from the University of Virginia in 2010. She worked for Culpeper County Public Schools for 43 years, first as an elementary teacher, then as a math specialist, and finally as a curriculum specialist for math and science (K-12). She retired in 2022.

Volunteering was her passion and she belonged over the years to many different groups and organizations, several of which held a special place in her heart, Culpeper Jaycees, Blue and Red Project, and especially, Culpeper Community Christmas Basket Program, which she coordinated for 35+ years. She had recently begun volunteering with Manna Ministry. Throughout the years, she received many accolades and awards for the impact she had on so many lives. Most recently was the Culpeper Police Department Amazing Citizen Award in 2020 and the Culpeper County Public Schools Spotlight Award in 2021.

She devoted her life to serving others through her work, volunteerism, church involvement (Hopewell United Methodist Church), dedication to family and friends, and her kind spirit shared with all who knew her.
