Left to cherish her memory are her devoted daughter, Shona (Anthony) Curry-Tyler; her loving granddaughter, Khiara; and her adored great-grandchildren, Aubri’ and Kam’Ron.

Sue received her education in the Columbus City School District, attending Fairwood Elementary, Roosevelt Middle School, and Columbus South High School. She went on to further her education at Wittenberg University.

A dedicated and hardworking woman, Sue began her career at JCPenney before moving to Detroit, Michigan, where she worked at Hudson’s (later Marshall Fields) from 1978 to 1988. She later returned to Columbus to be closer to her family, taking on roles at the Kobacker Distribution Center, Value City Distribution Center, Kroger Fuel Center, and, most recently, Commercial Warehouse and Cartage, where she worked until July 2025. Her strong work ethic, infectious spirit, and kindness left lasting impressions on everyone she met.

Sue was a vibrant soul who loved bowling, trips to the casino, and spending time with her family. Whether it was a picnic in Kenton, a road trip to Cleveland, or her favorite getaway to Port Clinton and Put-in-Bay, Sue found joy in making memories with those she loved most.

This tribute is only a glimpse into the beautiful life Sue lived. She touched so many with her big heart, sharp wit, and unforgettable presence. Her legacy of love, laughter, and resilience will continue to live on through all who knew and cherished her.
