She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Pleasant Valley 4th Ward, and loved the church. Sue enjoyed going to the temple and volunteered there. She was also a member of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers and acted as President of the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum in Ogden, UT. Sue was very passionate about the museum, where she also formed many great friendships.

Sue worked for the US Forest Service for over 30 years and was a Land Adjustments Manager. She retired from the Federal Government in 2002. She made many lifelong friendships from her time working at the Forest Service, a group which referred to themselves as the “Old Broads.”
