Soon after, she married her lifelong partner, Dan Steckbauer, on December 27, 1997, and started the next chapter of her life in River Falls, Wisconsin, as the principal of Saint Bridget Parish School. In 2014, her interests soon became dedicated to Saint Bridget Catholic Church as the parish administrator. After 5 years, Sue, and her husband, decided to retire to Green Valley, Arizona with dreams of traveling.

She was strong willed and determined to finish projects with perfection whether it was at home or work.
