Sue was born on July 29, 1960 in Oconomowoc the oldest of seven children born to Bernard J. and the late Donna G. (Stickler) Fox.  She attended school in Sarona, WI, St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Spooner, WI and graduated from Spooner High School in 1978.  She furthered her education at Viterbo University in LaCrosse attaining a Bachelor of Science Degree in nursing.  She started her career in the cardiac department of St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee, later moving to Lutheran Hospital in LaCrosse.  Following her marriage to William Linn on April 30, 1988 in Spooner she was a nurse at the Spooner Community Hospital and when they moved to Sheboygan in 1990 was at the Plymouth Hospital and at the time of her death the Aurora Sheboygan Clinic in OB-GYN.  For a brief time she suspended her career to be a full time mom to her three children, Becca, Alex and Rachel.  She supported her children in whatever road they took, soccer, cross country, softball, various musical instruments and their higher education. She enjoyed family vacations and camping no matter the weather, she would always say we are not home or working we are out together as a family and that is what is important.  Her pastimes were many, sewing, gardening, Sudoku or crossword puzzles.  She will always be loved and remembered as one of the most kind, selfless, fiercely strong people this world has seen.  She will be dearly missed.
