Our Mom had the most beautiful smile, one that could light up a room. She had the most incredible blue eyes that you ever saw. Our Mom was a "Jack of all Trades" and could fix practically anything. She worked hard her whole life. Our Mom loved to sew and to do all types of crafts. She loved listening to her music and boy did she love to dance. Even though that had not been possible for quite a while, she still had some moves. She loved all of her Family, her friends, her pets, her home and especially her yard.  Our Mom was strong and stubborn (strong willed) until the very end. The Lord has his hands full now!

Sue will be remembered as a loving wife, a wonderful Mother, Grandmother (Nana), Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend. She will be greatly missed, but not forgotten!

Rest easy Mom (Nana), you deserve it! Till we meet again! We love you!

Private cremation is being handled, per her wishes, by Taylor's Family Mortuary in Winston, Oregon. There will be a private graveside service with pizza afterwards, at a later date.
