Our hearts are shattered as we share that Sue McGraw-Blackwell- beloved wife, Mom, Grammy, Auntie and extraordinary lover of people- passed away far too soon. Sue was the kind of person who poured love into everyone she met. She was always giving, always serving, always putting others before herself. She was the glue that held our family together, and her absence has left a hole we can't begin to fill.

Sue is survived by her loving husband, Sean Blackwell, her daughters Shayna, Tristin and Chelsea, and her precious grandbabies, Ryan, Kristal, Emma and Athena. Sue played a vital role not only as a wife and mother but as the primary caregiver for her granddaughter who has special needs. She and Sean have lovingly raised her from infancy, and her care requires stability, routine and ongoing support. With Sue's sudden passing, both Sean and Kristal face significant challenges as they adjust to life without the person who anchored their world.

Many have asked how they can help during this devastating time. We are creating this GoFundMe to assist with funeral and memorial expenses as well as ongoing support for Sean and their special needs granddaughter in the months ahead. Losing her has left a deep ache in our family and we are working to honor her memory in a way that reflects her beautiful spirit. We are asking for support to help cover the costs of her celebration of life and the unexpected expenses that come with such a heartbreaking loss. Any amount, no matter how small is deeply appreciated. Your support will help us honor Sue in the way she so deeply deserves.
