They were members of Ozark Mountain Christian Church in Rockaway Beach, Mo., where she served as a member of the board.

In 2005, they moved to Rowlett, Texas, to be near family. Bill and Sue were strong supporters of the Valiant Knights Drum and Bugle Corps of Enid. She was a very talented cook, enjoyed reading, her dogs, road trips, and most of all just being a mom, grandma and great grandma.
