Sue and her husband, Dave, began attending Holy Comforter in 1980, having discovered it by driving past twice a day on their way to and from work. Raised Catholic, she was received into the Episcopal Church not long after becoming a member at Holy Comforter. In 2015, Sue and Dave, along with several other members, helped found and organize the Broomfield Farmers’ Market at Holy Comforter, held on Tuesday afternoons from June through September on the vacant west lot of the church. In addition to her duties as senior warden, she is a member of the Daughters of the King and currently serves on the Altar Guild. “I enjoy helping to organize our annual fundraising dinner, and can usually be found in the kitchen that evening,” Sue said. She is a former member of the Creation Care team for the Diocese of Colorado. Sue and Dave have an adult daughter and son who are both married, and two young granddaughters. A graduate of the University of Northern Colorado, she earned a bachelor's degree in journalism, with a minor in English. Prior to retirement, she worked as the office administrator for a group of retired judges who performed arbitrations and mediations with the goal of settling cases before proceeding to trial. Looking forward, her desire for Holy Comforter is that the congregation continue to live out the promises made in our Baptismal Covenant: that we proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ; seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves; and strive for justice and peace among all people, respecting the dignity of every human being.
