Condolences from Paul Clark and Family. Always there, always caring, She will be missed!
I remember Sue from our involvement in ACTORS Ames Community Theatre days. It was such fun. And when I moved to DesMoines I still would slip into town to her shop (in the old Maidrite shop wasn't it?) to get my hair cuts. A more joyful woman I can't recall. My condolences to her family and friends. Love you Sue....until we meet again on the other side in His presence.
I am sorry for your loss, we only met once that I remember but she was a great lady.
My husband Jay and I lived next to Sue and Pat 10 years on Mortenson Drive. What great neighbors and friends. Prayers to your family and to Pat. Jay and Murt Steffen
In 53 years of knowiing Sue, there have been so many good times/great times and some vacant times. Sue is finally happy and where she wanted to be for a long time. I love you Sue and my thoughts and prayers to Pat, friends and family!
My heart goes out to all of the Vaughan family. Sue was mom's best friend and one of my biggest cheerleaders/supporters of my art. She helped fill the void after losing my mom. She will be greatly missed.
No one gave scalp massages like Sue, and oh how I miss those! It's just not the same in these days of walk-in hair salons. What a fun persion, chauffeuring lucky winners in her Cadillac for an evening of dinner and theatre with ACTORS, Inc. She will be missed! I will see you on the other side of the curtain, Sue!
