Caryl ‘Sue’ Farrier was born on Feb. 2, 1940, to Ervin and Evelyn Farrier of Hillman. Sue graduated from Hillman High School in 1958 and attended Central Michigan University.

She worked tirelessly to provide him with the aid, therapy, compassion, and love necessary for his recovery, and his family remains forever grateful.
