One particular favourite included visiting Cliff Richard concerts, for she was a very great fan. Also Daniel O'Donnell

She was a helpful and kind person. If anyone needed to go for a hospital appointment or visit she was always willing to take them and she never complained how long she might have to wait.
In her latter years she used to have a big bake day and then take it around on her bike or in her car. She was a very good cook and many people enjoyed her produce.
She loved to go to the seaside and whenever this was possible her friends remember that she would always bring home a crab for tea.

She would often take her friends out for the day not telling them where they were going. If ever they asked, she would simply reply; “never you mind.” It was like a mystery tour with her and on the way home they would nearly always be a detour for a cuppa somewhere. As she drove along she would always be saying; “so and so lived there and so and so lived here as they were driving along.”
Sue herself enjoyed good health, rarely visiting the doctors, until the last 3 years. Sadly she was involved in an accident last April and she has been increasingly unwell since then.

Sue was very liked and though we must be parted there is much from Sue’s life that can't be taken away.
