She was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. Sue was cherished for her ability to make everyone feel loved and accepted. She was mamma to many, ready to lend a hand, give advice and provide a loyal shoulder to cry on. Sue was selfless and had a talent for anticipating your every need.
Sue was born on September 24, 1949, in Kansas City, Missouri. She met her high school sweetheart, Rick Heider, and they were married in 1969. After raising three daughters and retiring from Western Electric, Sue enjoyed hosting many pool parties, family events, gardening and grandma duties. She was up at 4am religiously to workout, a master at word searches and her favorite games. Sue was the family foundation and known for her incredible strength, spunky nature and could light up a room or conversation. She was truly one of a kind and such a precious gift to all.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Loretta and Bill Fulton, and her granddaughter, Jessica Runions.
