I’m sorry for your loss of Sue. She & I attended St. Pius together. She will be greatly missed.
So sorry for your loss. Your family will be in My thoughts and prayers.
Sue was one of my favorite cousins! She always had a smile and made you feel comfortable! She had a great sense of humor! She will be missed! I am so sorry for your loss!
Whenever Sue was around, you could always find her in a crowd because everyone around her was laughing. I will miss her good natured humor and the life she brought to all around her.
She’s only gone a little while,
You’ll see; you’ll meet again.
Til then relive those times you had.
Remember now and then.
Rejoice in knowing what you shared,
Remember every part.
She never really left, you know;
She’s always in your heart.
I will forever cherish all of the wonderful softball memories…hugs for you Carolyn…R.I.P. Sue till we meet again
We are very sorry for your loss of Sue. I remember her as a great athlete and a “fireball” as a little girl! Prayers for the family during this time of sorrow.
Sorry for your loss of Sue , she was a kind person n made a pretty big bowl of delicious pop corn.
My most vivid memory of Sue is seeing her on the softball field, with that red hair halfway down her back. You just knew if the ball went to her, she was going to make the play.
My thoughts are with you guys as you as you celebrate Sue’s life and mourn your loss.
Thoughts & prayers to the Macke family. We were neighbors to the Macke’s on Skyline Court, and have so many wonderful memories growing up.
God bless Sue. She will be missed by the Turnbough family!
I loved Sue so much. I chose her to be my flower girl in my wedding. She hated it but did it anyway. Charlie loved her and always enjoyed being with her. Sue will be missed so much. I could always count on her for a laugh and a big hug.

I have been reminiscing over the past couple of days, and almost every memory of Sue brings a big smile to my face. We have been friends since childhood. Besides her usual smile, Sue always had a mischievious sense of humor, and a certain smile to go along with it. She was so much fun, and a huge part of the Skyline Court/Cedar Drive “experience”. There was always enough kids in the neighborhood to have almost two teams of anything you wanted to play, from softball, tackle football, ice hockey, snowball fights, you name it. And Sue was always there. She also threw a mean snowball.
I’m so grateful to have known her. Thank you, Sue, for all the great memories!
