More about Sue
Sue Sanders died of brain cancer in 2000. She is survived by her husband Kelly, her children Cy and Ben Cary, and her Mini which resides in the garage of her brother Bill. She was a member of Oregon Mini Society for many years, and served as President in 1995-96. Sue was very active in the club, and was one of the friendliest, happiest and joyful people we’ve had the pleasure of knowing. She maintained and rebuilt her own Mini, helped in working with others on theirs and was intensely interested and devoted to our special little cars. She was an inspiration to us all, and epitomized the Spirit of a true Mini Owner. Her untimely passing saddened and sobered us, but her Spirit and zest gladdened us, and in memory to her, whenever someone special shows similar zest and fire, we can say that they have the Spirit of Sue in them. Help keep her Spirit and memory alive by recognizing someone who shares her passion with the rest of us.
