Before that, Sue was a full-time stay at home Mom! Sue loved being a cab driver because she was a natural at navigating and socializing. There were hardly ever strangers, as far as Sue was concerned. Sue made friends with everybody! Sue taught her children many things. She taught them how to walk and talk, to read and write, how to obeys God’s word, to do chores, and how to take pride in your work. Sue taught them how to Worship and Praise God, how to sing church hymns, how to read the bible and be thankful for God’s son, Jesus Christ! With Sue’s skills, she taught her children how to memorize children’s songs, nursery rhymes and hymns, then taught her children to use those same skills to look after babies or rock them to sleep. Sue taught her children how to tend to a garden, sew, cook bake, make tortillas and iron clothes. All the life skills Sue knew, she shared with her children. Sue was always willing to help those in need, or to teach those who needed teaching. If you had a question that needed an answer, Sue was the person to ask because you were probably going to get a great answer. Sue took pride in being very smart and creative and being completely humble when sharing her gifts to help others. If you were in need of a spectacular meal, you were in luck, if visiting Sue’s home! Boy, let me tell you what, if there was a ‘dinner on the grounds’, you best believe that something good had been made and brought from Sue! Sue really enjoyed having others enjoy her cooking! Sue also loved cuttin’ up and laughing. Sue was quick witted and playful! She loved singing and dancing. She had a collection of 45’s and a small lil’ record player that she shared with her children. She loved that she taught her children music! Sue once was a Sunday school teacher and made sure her children knew the Ten Commandments and would live life with those as a guidance. Sue had an infectious Smile and a Heart of Gold! Sue had a hard life sometimes, but also had a Good life, and prayed that her kids would learn from her and strive to keep the Good Stuff and throw out the bad to create a better life for All who come after her! Oh Yes, God broke the Mold when He made Sue! We All know that there is a Beautiful Place in Heaven for Geneva Sue Peña! We know Sue is Rejoicing with all her siblings and parents.
