Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.

Obituary

Susan Elizabeth Betts achieved so much in life. Sue was fortunate enough to be working at the start of the computer revolution at a time when computers would occupy entire buildings and she was working to help keep them running. While maintaining a busy career she had wo children Jack and Peter with the latter being born in Germany.

Regardless of if Sue was looking after her two boys or working on her own IT training business she always loved animals. The young boys were taken to any animal sanctuary, zoo or park possible. Sue was always donating to animal charities and all she asked for in return was for them to stay still enough for a photo.

Later in life Sue got the diagnosis of Addisons Disease which made her life difficult. Even with these difficulties Sue continued loving her boys, her animals and her technology.
While in the Orchards care home Sue particpated in a Facebook group that edited and repaired photos for those who asked. Using the skills in digital photography she had developed over the decades Sue helped hundreds of people with their photos.

Mum, it hurts not having you here to help me write this. I know you would help me improve this and probably change the colour scheme. Doing this alone is the most difficult thing I have had to do, Despite my near infinite failures you were always proud of me and happy i tried.

Bye Mum x

Dear Sue. Whilst we didn't know each other very well we did have the occasional chat online and you always made us welcome when we dropped Jack home.
In our last conversation we talked about 'Mum' duties. They've never been more needed than now and I hope you know that I'll do my best for us both 💕

Mum thank you for everything.
I have too many memories to share here. Some sad, some funny but you always found my silly moments the beter ones.

To this day, after all your attempts to teach me. I still do not know what the washing machine symbols mean. However I will try to make you proud in other ways moving forward.

Rest Easy Mum x
