Sue attended Farry School and graduated with the Class of 1953. She enjoyed playing basketball and softball.
On December 18, 1968, she married Wesley Gene "Bud" Martin. She had a wonderful marriage and enjoyed life on the farm beside him working the land, taking care of cattle, raising chickens and enjoying a garden. She enjoyed the outdoors and had a particular appreciation and understanding of both the farm animals and the wildlife around the farm.
She enjoyed a good game of dominos and cards with family and friends. They also enjoyed hunting arrowheads and traveling various places to hunt for rocks. They spent several winters in New Mexico where they enjoyed the company of other snowbird campers, playing games, sharing stories and looking for unusual rocks.
Everywhere Bud went, she was seen by his side. They enjoyed going to different music events and she enjoyed playing the guitar and keyboard and singing in a band at different events in the area and going to rest homes to play music.

Before her health failed, she had the privilege to attend a Thunder game which she enjoyed immensely.
