Sue was a dear friend of our mother, Gwen Hamrick at Waltonwood Cotswold. She moved in the three years ago and Sue asked her join their bridge club and from that day forward they played every week. We offer our condolences and prayers for her family and friends and are forever grateful for her friendship with our mother.

Sue was truly an ‘Angel.’ She was my mother’s first friend at Waltonwood. They played bridge together multiple times per week and would meet each other on the 3rd floor to go down together to bridge. I had the privilege to meet Sue and converse with her when I would visit my mother. I spoke with Sue recently before her move as I wanted to check on her since she hadn’t been to bridge in a while. She told me of her health decline and had great words to say about my mother. She will truly be missed. May the family find comfort in knowing just how loved Sue was by so many and how she touched all of our lives in a special way.
