She was born and grew up in Illinois and attended Northern Illinois University, majoring in Home Economics education. She loved being a homemaker, caring for her family, and supporting her husband in ministry to others. They moved to Maryland in 1971, and Sue lived in Edgewater until several years after Jim’s death in 2010. She was a talented seamstress and ran a sewing business out of her home until surgery for a brain tumor in 2013. She also loved cooking and helping homeschool her grandchildren in art and history.
