Very sorry to learn of Sue’s passing. She was such a nice person. I’ll miss her sense of humor and witty comments!
I'm so sorry to hear about Sue's homegoing. She was such a dedicated and compassionate person who cherished the work just as much as she supported and loved her staff, which was immeasurable. I will also remember her distinct chuckle, wry smile and spicy behavior. I still have on my desk an "Arkansas treasure" (at least that's what she called it) dubbed Monkey Balls that we had some good laughs about for a couple of years. My prayers and thoughts will be with you all in your time of need, as you lost a good one.
Sue was a wonderful lady, friend and co worker. She had a heart of gold and will be sadly missed. Good bless you Sue we'll see you again soon.
Love Sheila
Sue sat across from me when they consolidated CPS and I loved her from the moment I met her. She was smart, hard-working, and soooooo much fun to be around. Later I had the privilege of being her supervisor. She was a wonderful and dedicated social worker that touched so many lives in such a positive way.
Sue was the light during many hard times at MDHHS. Sue always was there to make me laugh when I was crying, and will always be remembered as the light in my social work career. You are loved and will be so missed by many. Rest in peace, Sue.
I'm so incredibly sad to hear that Sue has passed. She was an incredible woman with a huge heart. I worked with Sue for many years at DHHS. She was very passionate about her job and helping children and families. Sue knew how to make you laugh when you really needed it, and didn't sugar coat anything! Sue talked so fondly of her husband George, children, and her grandchildren. You will be greatly missed! Thank you for being you! RIH
I met Sue when she was a supervisor at child predictive services for the state of Michigan. I work in law enforcement and Sue was amazing to work with. She really cared about keeping kids safe and doing things right to hold adults accountable. Sue made an impact on myself as well as others and she will definitely be missed. - Todd ( aka Detective Gilbert)

Sue and I sat next to each other for a few years during our time togeher in the office. Sue was so much fun, so witty but so real. You never really knew what she would say next but that's what I loved about her. She loved George, her children and grands so much. She will be missed.
