Sue’s early life was dedicated to both her education and career. She attended Delaware Technical & Community College, where she received certification as a Lab Technician.

Afterward, she pursued a career in early childhood education, sharing her nurturing spirit and dedication with the children at Cozy Critters Daycare and Mother Goose in Sussex County.
Sue was proudly the "Queen" of the Red Hat Society until 2017, where she shared her lively spirit with many. Sue was an active and committed member of Shiloh Church in Laurel, DE, where she displayed her strong faith and devotion to her Lord and Savior.
An avid cook and baker, Sue took immense pride in her culinary creations, especially her cakes and wedding cakes, which were a source of great joy and satisfaction for her. Her passion for baking was only matched by her love for family and friends, and she will be remembered for the many meals, desserts, and special occasions she helped create.

She leaves behind three loving sons: Jesse, Roger, and Barry Mitchell; six grandchildren: Samantha Moore, Joshua Mitchell, Zach Mitchell, Christie Lynn Green, R.
