Mary Sue was a servant of the people who elected her to office with the highest percent of votes ever recorded for the office of County Treasurer. She always managed to campaign door to door so she could personally meet the voters. Mary Sue enjoyed the interaction with people of all levels of society and lived her life as an example that each person is equally important as the next one. She was admired in her field statewide and was active in the Council of Officers and Deputies Association of Oklahoma and the County Treasurer's Association, as well as the Wagoner County Democratic Women. She was always supportive of Porter and the Peach Festival.
