Tally Sue had been a long time alcohol and drug counselor in the area before doing clerical work for AAA and then onto Citigroup and then Metlife. She was a person who loved her family very much. When it came to her sons, she was always looking out for them and was there to listen. When grandchildren came along, she loved spending time with them and attending their sporting events or whatever activities they were participating in. Tally Sue’s outside activities included fishing, eating fresh tomatoes out of the garden, Iowa Hawkeye Football, and watching Chicago Cubs games with her Dad. Tally Sue loved having beautiful hanging baskets full of purple flowers. She was a very caring person who always put others before herself.
