Sue was a devoted Aunt to her nieces and nephews and their children, whom she treated as if they were her own children. She was a 1952 graduate of St. Bernard’s High School and a long term parishioner of St Anthony of Padua Church in Fitchburg.  She volunteered working with children challenged with brain injury and also volunteered in a literacy program. In addition, she was a member of the Sons of Italy. Sue worked at General Electric in Fitchburg for 25+ years as an executive secretary.

Sue enjoyed traveling with her family and friends to European countries and bus trips in the United States and Canada. She also vacationed with her sisters and cousin Nenay to Cape Cod, Maine and Florida. As an avid reader, she was a member of Sterling Village Nursing Home Book Club.
