She attended Ovid Central School, and began a career at Willard and Elmira Psychiatric Centers that spanned more than 30 years, retiring as a transfer agent through the Seneca Falls office. Sue loved thrift shopping, antique and garage sales, card stamping and traveling the Finger Lakes region and beyond with her friends and Amish passengers. Over many decades, multiple generations of Sue❜s family have lived in the same Orchard Street home. Her small, yet very close family, was her focal point and source of pride and happiness, in addition to her pets, Oliver and Kaylee.

Sue is survived by her son, Robert ‶Hobie″ Stapleton of Ovid; brother, Ernie (Dorothy) Bullivant of Falcon, Colorado and circle of very close friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Hobert in 1999.
