Bom in Philadelphia, PA, to William Waltman and Bertha Brenner Newmann, Sue graduated from Overbrook High School in 1952 and received a B.A. in Education from the University of Pennsylvania in 1956. She married her college sweetheart, Thomas H. Newmann (who passed in 2010), after 54 years together. Sue had two great passions: the University of Pennsylvania, which awarded her the University Alumni Award of Merit; and Scottish Terriers (there were always two or three running around the house). A teacher at Temple B’nai Jeshurun, Sue also helped high school students prepare for the college admissions process.

She is survived by her daughter, Katherine Ellen Newmann; son-inlaw, John R. Enea; her son, William W. Newmann; her daughter-in-law, Judyth Twigg, and granddaughter, Jeri Twigg Newmann.
