Sue’s journey began in Bakersfield, California, where she spent her formative years alongside her two brothers, Calvin and Don, and her three sisters, Joann, Linda, and Brenda. Her family’s eventual relocation to Willows and then Williams marked the beginning of her adult life where she would soon start her own family.
