She graduated from Plainfield, Illinois, class of 1971. After high school, she married the love of her life Mike Lollar on October 9, 1971 and to this union two children were born.

During the early 80’s, she re-entered the workforce at various customer service areas. In 1992, Mike and Sue moved to the Clear Lake area, and she worked briefly for Target in Mason City and Serta in Clear Lake. She spent many years and made many friendships while working at Clear Lake Bank and Trust in Clear Lake and later in Garner. In her retirement, she worked for Northside Automotive, and Stellar in Garner. In 2018, they moved to California and just recently moved back to Clear Lake in the fall of 2020, citing that they wanted to be close enough to make breakfast for their grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling by ground only to National Parks, family events, and functions. She liked hiking, going to all the new movies, and shopping. She loved reading, organizing family functions, making everyone play games and do puzzles. Sue loved spending time with her family, grandchildren and friends throughout the years.
