Sue‘s daughter Jamie made the announcement on her mom’s Facebook page.
“She was surrounded by family, including her devoted and adoring husband Steve,” Jamie wrote. “Although we knew this was coming, it was unexpected and fast. She had been fine up until just a few days ago, and then things moved quickly. Sue always said that she would continue writing as long as she had the juice.”
