Growing up in Dayton, she graduated from Fairview High School.  She married the love of her life, Robert Finley on June 12, 1954 in Dayton, Ohio.  Sue was one who believed strongly in unconditional love.  She taught those around her about that kind of love by the way she extended it to those she loved, beginning with her own children.  She was very close to her friends, her children and grandchildren.

Sue served for several years as the Republican County Chairwoman for Montgomery County, Ohio.  She was responsible for arranging large parties that would serve as major Republican Party fundraisers during national elections.  She was fortunate to get to meet Ronald Reagan as well as both George H.
