A Sad Goodbye

Sue Hambley

Dear Medina County Residents,

As many of you may already know, Medina County lost a very special lady this week.  Sue Hambley lost a long and courageous battle with muscular dystrophy.  Sue was the wife of Commissioner Steven Hambley, but a community figure in her own right.  It would take several front pages to list all of Sue's activities so I won't even try.  Suffice it to say, she was on the Brunswick City Council and received many awards for her community involvement including the Women of Distinction Award from the YWCA, the Personal Achievement Award for the State of Ohio and the Woman of  Distinction Award for Community Volunteerism from the Western Reserve Girl Scout Council.

Sue met life head-on with joy and courage.  She never let anything keep her from participating.  From her diagnosis at the age of seven until her death, she continued to show all of us what you can do when you set your mind to reaching for the stars.  She was a wonderful example for all of us and she shall be deeply missed.

I know you join me in offering my deepest condolences  to Steve and Sue's family and friends.

Sincerely,

Michael E. Kovack
Medina County Auditor

Proudly Serving the Residents of Medina County
