Our condolences are given to all Sue’s loved ones and she had many. She was always so welcoming of our family and made us feel right at home when we would see her at Jon and Kellie’s. I know she put a mark on Kevin’s family. Thanks Sue for doing that. May you rest now.

We are so very sorry for the loss of Sue. She was a great friend, neighbor and co-worker. So much fun, always a good time. She loved working with the kids and was very good at that too. Her passing will leave a void in the world for sure. Kevin, Jo, Jason and everyone else that loved her, our sincerest condolences. ❤

We are so sorry for your loss. I graduated with Sue, then we didn’t see each other for years. I was working one summer for BOCES and found that Sue worked there as well. Sue had a wonderful personality. She was funny, loved joking around but could also be very compassionate. Sue will definitely be missed.
