Our Post Master Sue,

Signs Off For Retirement!

A typical day.

Morning Alarm, 4.45am, feed the pets, get ready, have breakfast, and drive the sometimes 30 minute commute, other times up to 2 hours  depending on weather and traffic conditions, clocking in at 7am at the Post Office. While many of us would be getting up, Sue would have our mail ready for the mail carrier or the P.O. Box. The mail came from all over the country and the world, letters, bills, greeting cards, and the much awaited deliveries from Amazon, Ebay. Wayfair etc.. Meanwhile, Sue always with a happy beaming smile was there to pass along the oversized items, some of which were very over sized! THANK YOU SUE!

Sue, a wife, a mother and a grandmother, joined the post office in 1995 and was assigned to Penn Valley CA, and spent her first 4 years as a mail carrier, followed by 6 years inside, and in 2005 Sue was assigned to her very own ZIP code, 95975, Rough and Ready CA. It is here that most if not all of us got to know Sue. After 29 years with the Post Office Sue is retiring on June 28th 2024.

What’s on the bucket list for Sue in Retirement?

Visit some of the addresses she has seen over the 29 years on mail, Kinloch in Scotland where her ancestors came from, and Devils Lake North Dakota, where her grandmother was born.

Visit relatives around the US, in fact she will hit the road first thing June 29th on a roadtrip with her husband who has patiently waited for this day. Destination? The Open highway. Visit relatives.

She also wants to spend time researching her creative side in her home in Nevada County, gardening, and DIY projects, and of course spending LOTS of time with her beloved husband, children, and grandchildren.

We are sure we will bump in to Sue here and there, and keep her posted on activities in Rough and Ready, such as the Secession Days Chili Cookoff, and maybe Sue you can be a Judge again?

Sue we will miss your amazing friendly welcoming smile, and from all of us at the Rough and Ready Chamber of Commerce, ENJOY RETIREMENT!
