So sad to hear of Sue's passing. I worked with Sue for 20 years at DNR. She was a hard working, dedicated employee who really cared about her work. She was good-hearted and she was always willing to help me out (work-related or not). I always appreciated her friendship... she will be missed.

I was saddened to hear the news about Sue. She was a very kind, generous, loving person. I too worked at DNR and still do. I remember all the times she helped me out with various things. She will be missed.

Sue trained me for my job in the accounting section of the D.N.R. She was very smart and we had many laughs. She was a good friend and very giving and thoughtful. Unfortunately since Covid-19 is in full force I will not be attending her funeral. She made me some gifts that I see every day and thus think of her often. I'm also glad she is in peace.

I was a supervisor and later the Law Enforcement Bureau Chief. I worked many years with Susan and one of her duties dealt with helping all of us middle managers track our equipment inventory. With an agency as large and diverse as DNR, this was a major task. She was a very hard worker and was always a professional. She will be missed.

I worked with Sue for many years at the IDNR. Among other duties she managed the Annual IDNR spring sale. She organized and ran the sale like a seasoned field general.
