Most recently, before she retired, Sue Ann worked as a medical secretary at the Reading Hospital with the Institutional Review Board (IRB) Protocol Office.

Besides spending time with her family and friends, Sue Ann had a passion for golfing, traveling, and she and Nick enjoyed many golf trips together over the years, including spending winter months each year in North Myrtle Beach, SC. She was also an accomplished sewer, an avid gardener with her love of daylilies, and an active member of her church.
