She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter Laura Black; and older sister Betty McIntire. Sue was devoted to her family and a friend to many. She was a member of the Douglas Avenue United Methodist Church for many years. Sue was someone who never met a stranger. She was always interested in knowing and caring about people she met. She was a stay at home mom until starting to work for H & R Block. When her husband retired from the State of Illinois in 1988, she determined they were too young to quit working and then started her own Tax and Accounting business. After 21 years they sold a successful business and officially retired. Sue was always finding ways to help others through volunteering with PTA, Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and her church.
