She and her late husband were talented and graceful dancers enjoying ballroom dancing, square dancing, and line dancing. Sue was early adopter of computers and other consumer electronics. One of her greatest joys was watching her grandchildren play the latest games and game systems. She enjoyed sewing, embroidery, reading, puzzles, clogging, and shopping.
