It was this family that made the holidays and birthday parties so special and a joy in her life. “Grammy Sue” was especially known for her laugh and love of family. Sue’s second love was her travel with David. They traveled the Caribbean and visited five continents. These travels were made much more enjoyable in the company of friends and family. Many of the travels were to watch the grandchildren in their various sporting endeavors. Sue was employed by James M. Pellegrino, DDS and worked with the greatest staff in the Massena office for Thirty years. She served as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Patrick Church; visited the homebound and served as a volunteer of the Gabriel Project.
