Sue was a victim of the midair collision between passenger liner Pacific Southwest Airlines 182 and a small training Cessna. The planes collided after losing sight of each other, the PSA jet coming down on top of the smaller aircraft.

Pacific Southwest Airlines 182 fell from the sky in a ball of flames, and crashed into a residential neighborhood, killing all 144 people on board, and 7 on the ground. The two men in the training airplane were also killed. In total, 153 people died in the disaster.

Sue's husband Robert was a Pacific Southwest personnel administration, travelling off-duty aboard the flight. He'd been working with PSA since 1969. The couple were flying together.
