Mary Helen, affectionately known as “Sue”, was born on July 11, 1951 in Birmingham, Alabama to the union of Jim and Helen Young.  She moved with her family to Cleveland in 1957 where she attended Cleveland Public Schools and graduated from John Adams in 1970.  That same year, she started working at Ohio Bell and retired from there after thirty years of service. 

In 1972, Sue was joined in Holy Matrimony to Charles Curtis Queen.  To their union, three children were born - Charles III and twin girls Courtney and Chloe. 

If you knew Sue, you knew these three things:  she loved her family, she loved her friends and she was a die hard sports fan!  She lived in Orange Village and was outstanding in the community.  She coached her children’s sports teams throughout the years, she served on PTA boards and athletic boards, and she volunteered her time on Sundays for “open gym” where kids came to play basketball.  She cooked dinners for her children’s basketball and football teams and brought snacks to every track meet.  She would get to the school early on game days to decorate the senior lockers. Sue went above and beyond in her duties as a mother and was described by many as a “second mother.” She loved all Cleveland sports teams, but, the Cleveland Browns were her favorite!  She spent hours arguing back and forth over the telephone with her cousins in Pittsburgh about the Cleveland Browns! 

On Thursday, February 4, 2010, Sue departed this life and will be truly missed because she was a truly loved person by all.  She is preceded in death by her parents, by her brother Oscar “Bear” Young, as well as by her sister, Betty Lee Longmire.
