Sue’s children and grandchildren meant everything to her. She adored them and loved to spend time with them and share about them.

Later they were able to watch their grandchildren tubing on the lake. “Mammaw” attended every event for her grandchildren that she could. She helped care for them when they were young, and she spent countless hours talking with them when they were older. She was always excited for them and extremely proud of them.
