It’s next to Impossible to put into words what an amazing person Sue Jent was and how greatly she will be missed.  Relationships were the most important thing to Sue.    Her most treasured relationship was the one she had with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This relationship took root when she was a child and it continued to strengthen and influence everything she did in life.  Sue was kind and benevolent, happily placing everyone’s needs in front of her own.  Sue was eager to cook dinner for someone, teach a bible class at church, lead a prayer group, or simply sit and chat with a friend.  Sue cherished time spent with her family and delighted in creating memories with her husband, kids, grandkids, extended family and friends who she treated like family.  She had a gift for making people feel treasured and loved.

To honor her memory, do something kind and unexpected for someone.  You may also make a memorial contribution to a favorite charity, College Park Church or another church of your choice.
