Sue graduated Pershing High School in Detroit, MI in 1952 and after graduation she entered the Air Force. She was stationed in several bases and ended up in Virginia studying to become a cryptographer and making a career in the service when her father fell ill and she was honorably discharged to go home and take care of him and her younger sister Sharon. Sues father passed on June 1956.
