Organiser's Description
_WHO WAS SUEB?_
A vivacious, intelligent woman who is missed dearly every day. February 9, 1955 April 4, 2008
Susan Elaine Brubaker Newby died in 2008 during a mysterious horseback riding incident. After her death, family, and friends realized that SueB her nickname was likely in an abusive marriage. SueBs sister, Marj, and friends, Leslie and Teresa turned to the WCA [https://wcaboise.org/] as a way to honor SueBs life and increase awareness about domestic violence. Their hope: to help other successful, smart, beautiful women like SueB leave these relationships before its too late.
