Called Sue by most and Melinda by others, she answered cheerfully to either.

Sue was a very giving person and relished her time working with disabled clients at both Napa and Sonoma state hospitals. She enjoyed crocheting, scrap booking, photography and being with friends. Many good years and good friends were enjoyed with the Napa Valley Jeepers. Sue is a member of the Sparkling Red Hatters of Napa, the Single Action Shooting Society (where she is known as Sue K. Yaqui) and the National Rifle Association. Sue married her husband, Phil, in 1970 and they had a good 40 years together. She was predeceased by her young brother, Greg. She is survived by her husband, Phil Small, Napa; mother, Patricia Soen, Napa, father Chris (Dale) Miller, Sonoma, brother, Chris (Cheryle) Miller, Santa Rosa; nephew, Paul (Inna & Alexander), nephew, Jeff (Kelli, Jack & Sophia) Miller, niece, Allison (Sean) Prysock, nephew, Ryan (Jamie) Stern, and niece, Jessica (Marty) Trumbore.
