I was shocked and sadden to learn of Sue's passing. No one and I mean no one could make me laugh more than Sue. She had this keen ability to connect with people wherever she went and she would light up any room she walked into. I will always be glad I had the opportunity to meet her. My condolences to her family at this sad time.
I am sad to learn of Sue's passing. I worked with her at Western Publishing, and I remember her as smart, funny, and caring. I always enjoyed talking with her. Sue had the God-given gift of making a day seem brighter, and I am blessed to have known her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family today.
Worked for many years with Susan at Western Publishing Company in Racine. She was pleasant and always lots of fun. We kept in touch over the years and I will always remember her sense of humor and her dedication to her work. She was a special friend and I will miss her.
Susan was a wonderful person, a wonderful friend... I will miss her smile, her laugh.... her quick wit and sense of humor. Susan could definitely light up a room! It was such a pleasure to have known her, and I consider myself blessed to have been her friend. We met in Miami; we worked at the same law firm. Though we both eventually left Florida, Susan and I kept in touch through the years. I know she was happy to be back in Wisconsin, closer to her family. Hearing of her illness was heartbreaking, though she remained strong in the face of it all. Rest in peace, my friend.
My deepest condolences to her family.
I met Susan when she came to work as a colleague, soon becoming a friend, at CNH America LLC ("Case"). Susan was extremely bright and professional, but also so fun to work with. Sue's enthusiasm for her job, and life in general, was contagious. Whenever I was a bit down, I would stop to talk to Sue, and before long, I was smiling and laughing along with her.
I will always remeber Sue as the "fiery red-head," who smiled and laughed often, and brought enthusiasm to everyone around her. Sue was fiesty and fun to be around. She was so thrilled to work at Case, where her father had worked for more than 30 years. Sue told me that she knew her Dad would be proud that she was following the family tradition by working for Case.
I and everyone who worked with Sue were worried when she became ill, but we all hoped and prayed that she would have the ability to fight the illness which had occurred so suddenly, and recover her health. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
So, I can only think that Heaven needed Sue more than we did - a fiery and fiesty red-head who would keep everyone smiling and laughing.
I extend my condolences to her family and friends.
I met Sue in my homeroom in High School and she had a dynamic personality, even back then. We reconnected at an INTA (International Trademark Association) meeting in New Orleans back in 2003 and have been in contact ever since. Sue had the best sense of humor ever. I would laugh out loud at her e-mails throughout the years. Being witty just came so naturally to her. And we had such crazy conversations....Marcus Big Boy hamburgers and their strawberry pie (high school hangout); going to Kroks Restaurant in Kenosha and having kiddy cocktails and thinking we were so grown up; and our shared childhood heart throb, Davy Jones (of The Monkees)! Such a fun lady! I will miss her so very much. Sue will be remembered by all for her contagious laugh and wonderful humor, but equally important, as a true professional in her work as an experienced Trademark Paralegal and a true friend. Sue had a full career, working for numerous law firms and corporations and our networking was continuous, no matter where her job brought her. In Sue's last job, she fulfilled a dream of hers--that is, working at CNH (Case) like her Father. I am glad we were able to work together at CNH (Case), even though it was for a short time.
My sincere deepest sympathy to Scott.
