Sue was born on March 1,1950 in Schenectady, NY. She was a free spirit. A wild child if you will. A very hard working woman who would give you the shirt off of her back or the last penny in her pocket. She was a pussy cat at times, but sometimes she would let her biker babe come out to play. She loved to have a good time. She loved spending time with her family. Her husband John and her were together for 34 years. She loved all her children including all 12 of her grandbabies. She was always there to talk or just listen. The amount of weight that was on her shoulders was enormous and her love for the lord always brought her through it.

Sue enjoyed the fresh air. Loved the sun and being able to watch her birds and her woodchuck and her bunnies that would sneak into the garden. She would always shew them away. It always made her laugh. She liked to play cards (poker) was her favorite. She also liked to challenge us to a game of scrabble or checkers. She also liked going to the races on a warm Saturday night.

Sue is survived by her sister, Marylou McCarroll, sister, Patricia (Douglas) Caldwell and sister, Jackie Vinehout along with several nieces and nephews and 3 children (Michael, Kristy & Matthew) along with 12 grandkids and 1 great grandchild. In addition to her parents, Bobby McCarroll and Edna Eckert, she was predeceased by sisters, Shirley, Joan, and brother Bobby.

Calling hours will be held on Thursday, December 19th, from 5 pm to 7 pm at DeMarco-Stone Funeral Home, 1605 Helderberg Avenue, Rotterdam, NY 12306. You can also send memorial contributions, cards, and flowers to this address.
