Sue was a kind and thoughtful mother and friend that will be missed by all who knew her.  She was very creative, always finding different ways to share her talent.  Whether it was through designing and sewing all of her children’s Halloween costumes, sharing her passion for art, or her thoughtful and creative gifts she presented to her friends and family.     She was passionate about and devoted to all types of gardening, generously teaching her skills and sharing her bounty with those around her. 

Sue is survived by her two children, Danielle Heisler and Dustin Heisler; brother Tom (Vickie) Vail; many cousins; and nieces and nephews.
