Sue retired from the American Red Cross in 2003 after 24 years.

She loved everyone, had a huge heart, was filled with compassion, and was certain of her Lord and Savior's Love, Mercy, Peace, Grace, and Salvation.  She shared her faith through her thoughts and prayers. 

Her family would like to thank Dr. Rick E. Crawford and his wonderful staff for taking care of our beloved mother for all of these years.
