Upon receiving her Ph.D., Sue taught at Arizona State University in the business school for seventeen years, where in her own words, she was "part counselor, placement director, cheerleader, as well as professor." She retired in Colorado and loved her views of the Rocky Mountains. She will be deeply missed by family and the many friends she made over the years. One her most valued communities was her church.
