Sue made many friends wherever she went and always seemed to build a community for herself among the different places she lived. Sue had a passion for animals and was a breeder of smooth fox terrier dogs for many years. Sue could always be seen with her dogs at many dog shows where she won many awards. She also made many close and life long friends through these associations. She was a member of the American Fox Terrier Club and also Mid South Fox Terrier Club of Memphis, TN and a member/officer for the Western Fox Terrier Breeder’s Association.
The Pucci family would like to acknowledge and thank Sabrina Green and her husband Darrell for their devotion and friendship to Sue for all their help during her illness. The family also acknowledges Sue’s friends Joni, Nancy and Traci.
