To know Sue, you knew love. She cared so deeply about family, to the point that dinner was never on time, so we wouldn’t leave. She always made sure the next generation knew a good game of Phase 10 as well. We will miss hearing her laugh around the table.  She lit up any room with her smile and laughter, and would make sure you were laughing right along with her.  To any one of her grandchildren’s friends, she would tell them, “Just call me Mommom,” and they would; they were always her family, too.  Anywhere she went, she was known to have her cup full of Iced Tea and ice.

Visitation will take place on Thursday, January 15th, at 1 pm at Salyer Funeral Home on Chincoteague Island, VA., with funeral services following at 2 pm, with Rev. Eley officiating.

Burial will take place in Daisey Cemetery in Chincoteague, VA.
