Sue was born in Lincoln where her mother had been
evacuated to from Claygate in Surrey. After the birth of her twin sisters
two years later, the family moved to Leigh on sea in Essex to be nearer
relatives. In 1952 they moved to the warmer south
settling in a small town called Burgess Hill where Sue attended the PNEU
School. After A Levels she attended Fairlie Place
Secretarial College, and subsequently became the Manager's Secretary at the
Midland Bank in Brighton. During that time,
she met John at the Brighton Ice Rink and they have now been married for 41
years. At first they lived in Lindfield, but in
1970 they moved to Haywards Heath to be nearer the station. They have two
daughters and two grandchildren. When her daughters
left
home for University, Sue took her City & Guilds in Patchwork, Quilting,
Applique & Design, and
she still continues to make quilts today. She then became School Secretary at
Tavistock & Summerhill School and spent
a very happy seven years there. Sue plays golf and is a member of Haywards
Heath Golf Club. When John retired he became a member
of
Cuckfield & Lindfield Rotary Club in 2000 and Sue soon followed into
Inner
Wheel
where she has been Community Service Organiser, Programme Secretary, and Club
Secretary.
Sue has held office in various local associations over the years, and is now
proud to be President of Cuckfield &
Lindfield Inner Wheel in their 25th year. |
