Sue was wonderful to work with and had such a lovely deameanor. She loved her family and her pets.
It was my great pleasure to get to know Sue and meet Lewis when I worked with her at El Centro College. Sue was a kind, sweet soul. My prayers for their two sons, Erik and Ken. May the Lord be of sweet comfort during this time of loss.
I knew this lovely lady for a short time around 2018 at ElCentro College and her son who liked making jewelry. My condolences to her boys and I pray they remain strong through this time.
Sue worked with me in the Institutional Research office at El Centro College. She was a wonderful colleague and a good friend. She and Lewis had a beautiful relationship and wonderful sons who all loved each other very much. I miss her, but take comfort in knowing that she and Lewis are still together in Heaven.
