Sue was passionate about her family and spent many hours preserving the pictures and memories in multiple scrapbooks. She had a love for all animals and often joked about “taking in stray kids, puppies and kitties!” She enjoyed crafting, ceramics and sewing.

Jennifer Pape, Joshua Pape, Michael Pape, Shawn Payne, DeAndre Forbush, Anthony Scott, and Shemiah Scott; brother, James (Rhonda) Mataczynski; sister, Rita Ludvigsen (Gary Dixon) and several nieces and nephews.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Katherine Mataczynski, and her husband, Daniel Forbush.
 
Memorial Services will be held at a later date in Sue’s hometown of Holcombe, Wis.
