She was also a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Westover VFW Post #9916 and the First Catholic Slovak Ladies Association. Sue valued meeting with families who emigrated from Slovakia to share culture, faith, and fellowship. Sue was the ultimate wife, homemaker and real-life supermom, and as her children grew she also worked for Coombs Florist and One Valley Bank in Westover. Sue was the heart and soul of her family and was passionate about caring for, feeding, and spoiling everyone. She loved to dote on all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she truly treasured. She also enjoyed spending hours talking, shopping, and visiting with friends and family, especially her sisters. Some of her many hobbies included cooking, baking, dancing, gardening, and bowling.
