She served as ward organist for nearly 30 years, and enjoyed singing along as she played the hymns. She loved teaching piano to young kids and was a big hit whenever she played at family gatherings. Sue was an Avon representative for 30 years and was a multiple-time recipient of the prestigious President’s Club Award, as well as the Honor Society Award. She loved her children, grandchildren, flowers and the Christmas season. She was preceded in death by her father, Phil; and two grandchildren, Anna and Geoffrey Solomon.
