Mary Susan Kommel, 67, passed away peacefully Friday afternoon, Oct, 28, 2016, at Hospice House, following a brief and courageous battle with lung cancer.

Mary, who was known to all as "Sue," was born July 6, 1949, in Pittsburgh, a daughter of the late Andrew and Margaret Rankin. She graduated high school in Berea in 1967, and lived in Youngstown since 1968.

Sue worked as a jeweler for King's Jewelry in Youngstown and in Niles.

She enjoyed traveling the Western United States, and found great joy visiting the Grand Canyon.
