I didn’t know your mom but I’ve known Ruthie since high school. I am very sorry to hear of the passing of your mother, grandmother, wife. No words can ever make the loss better so I will not try. I pray for peace and comfort for you all as you go through this tremendous loss.
We will miss you as our wonderful friend and neighbor. Praying for your family and sending love, peace and strength. 💜
This jolly lady was one of the first people to welcome me to St. Louis and into the family. There was always a smile on her face and she had a way of making me feel like we had been besties forever. I had dreams of us road tripping together once we retired and doing buddy stuff like girls do until then. Unfortunately, life had different plans. I already miss her and the twinkle she always had in her eye. Rest in peace my sweet friend. May you enjoy the best adventure of all (heaven).
Our thoughts and prayers are with you,pray for peace for your family
My condolences to the entire family. Sue was loved by all of us in the SLU Endocrine division. I regularly stopped by her desk on the way to see Dr. Morley. She was always smiling and supportive. Very grateful to have known her and she will be missed.
Mama Sue was such a special part of my life for so many years. She was very special too me and all of us in the Geriatric division. I am out of town this weekend with my daughter for soccer but will be thinking of all of you. May your memories and how very much she loved you and her grandchildren be a comfort to you all ❤️
She was a kind and caring person, and I feel fortunate to have known her. She is gone way too soon and will be greatly missed by many.
I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Sue was such a kind and sweet person. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Please know that you’re in my thoughts during this difficult time. We are covering you all in prayer.
… I always called her Sue Sue… I have known her for over 40 years… even though our lives went different directions and we didn’t keep in touch as much as I would have liked, I am glad I got to see her at birthday parties, showers, weddings, etc… I will always remember her contagious smile, her sparkling eyes, and all the fun we had back in the 80s and 90s… my mama and daddy are greeting her with big hugs!
Our condolences on behalf of the Department of Internal Medicine and IM-Division of Geriatrics.

I have known and worked with Sue Brooks, off and on, since 1991. She was a great mother figure that kept us in line and provided us with support and a good laugh, when we needed it. Our Geriatric division was not just a bunch of busy doctors and nurses but, a family because of her. She set a wonderful example as a wife , mother and grandmother. I will pray that God will provide Terry, their children and grandchildren the love and support they need, during this difficult time.
Soe was a great friend.She was key tp making he geriatrc division function. She was a great support to all of us. She masde evetbody smile. A wonderful person/ Thank you for everyjong.
Mama Sue, had the best welcoming smile in the world and was like a mother to me during my training and work at SLU. She had the talent to keep our Geriatric Division afloat and together. We will miss you greatly Sue. My deepest condolences and prayers to the Brook family. She is closer to us now more than never.
This hurts my heart tremendously. Mama Sue was my work mom which resulted in a very good long friendship, even after her retirement from SLU. If she was ever in a bad mood, you would have never known. I can’t remember a day when she was not smiling. She was certainly a rock for me and seen me through a lot of life changes. I will miss her greatly! She was infectious, to say the least. Rest in peace Mama Sue
Sue was a friend and neighbor through high school and and after. We stayed in touch when my son moved next door to her. She was always lovingly talking about how much she loved her family and grandchildren. She will be missed. Sending love, light and prayers to her family.
When I told my son Dias that Mama Sue had passed away we both teared up. He remembered Sue for the sweetest smile, the radiating love and kindness. She really was the mother of our whole geriatrics division and she made everything work. Your memory is a blessing for all who knew you, we will never forget you. May the love that shared bring
comfort to Terry, Ruthie, Penny, the grand kidsyou loved so much and the whole family.
When I think of Sue I remember her kindness, openness, welcoming spirit, and the way she exhibited caring to all that came through the door at the office of SLU Geriatrics. My prayers are with her family and know her loving spirit will always be with them.
