Johnson, both of Annapolis and preceded by her late husband Charles W. Rush of Churchton, MD. Sue worked at Muddy Creek Animal Hospital for over 10 years where she was the receptionist manager. Sue had a tremendous love for all animals and that was demonstrated not only at her career at Muddy Creek but by fundraising for homeless animals. Sue participated for many in years in the annual SPCA Walk for the Animals and also volunteered at the SPCA Puppy Plunge. She also loved all the clients that brought their animals into Muddy Creek. Sue had an EXTREME LOVE FOR GOLDEN RETRIEVERS!!!!!! Tears came in her eyes each time a golden retriever came in because it reminded her of her beloved golden named Red Baron. So many thoughts about Sue come to mind. “Her favorite dessert of all time was brownies. She loved the beaches and hanging out with friends. Sue would play Words With Friends with everyone and constantly won. She loved her high school friends so much. The question every Monday morning…where do we meet for lunch today? She was a shining light for all that knew her.” Previously Sue had worked for over 15 years for Giant Food where she is still remembered for her kindness and warm spirit. Most of all, Sue was a good friend to all of us that she touched. Left behind is one brother Steven Johnson of Fl, her niece April Haviland of NY, her nephew Michael Johnson of NJ, her niece Kim Johnson of NJ and her cousin Eric Johnson of Annapolis. Family and friends are welcomed to join in a CELEBRATION OF SUE’S LIFE at Annapolis Smokehouse & Tavern, 107 Hillsmere Dr., Annapolis, MD 21403 on Saturday Sept. 13 from 4 to 6. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Muddy Creek Animal Hospital for Sue’s charity of helping animals.
