Sue was a very loving person, who loved her family and friends well.  She was loved dearly by her husband, children, grandchildren, and all who were blessed to call her friend. Sue will be greatly missed on this earth, but her family is comforted knowing she is with her Lord and Savior, as well as loved ones who went before her. 

After graduating high school, Sue chose to enter the field of business and attended business college. She would say her chosen field was good for her and she enjoyed all the places she worked. One of her favorite jobs was working in the College of Education at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, where she was secretary to eight University professors.

She was very proud to be a liaison between Micro Craft and NASA/Houston project engineers and heavily involved in the space program for NASA/Houston, as well as NASA/Langley and NASA/Ames. Her career with Micro Craft took her on many travels. One of the most rewarding moments of her career was traveling to Cape Canaveral as a VIP to watch the launching of the Spaceship Columbia. Another great moment was attending an awards banquet in Washington, DC when Micro Craft was awarded Contractor of the Year for the space program. It was working for Micro Craft that she met the love her life, an engineer from San Diego, CA, Millard (Nick) Nicodemus.
