Sue died on September 29, 2026, surrounded by her husband and daughters. Sue was born in 1943 in Hartford, Connecticut, during WWII. Her parents, Pearl Rosoff and Dan Giber, were both teachers. She graduated in psychology from Brandeis University and went to graduate school at the University of Michigan where she got a PhD in clinical psychology; later she also graduated from the Barbara Brennan School of Healing. In her long, varied and distinguished career she worked at the U-M Center for the Continuing Education for Women, then as a founding member of the Educational Change Team. In clinical practice she was a founding member of the Ann Arbor Center for Family. Later she was a pioneer in the clinical integration of psychotherapy and energy healing. Throughout her career she was devoted to her clients and practice, and unique in the ways she applied her education, intuition, and healing skills.
She was also a loving mother to her two daughters, Alisa and Samara, and her two beloved younger sisters, and a loving wife. Some of her most precious times were the summer family camping trips to the mountains in the west, and the wilderness in Canada to the north.
As she approached retirement, she turned to artistic expression and passionately pursued stained glass mosaics and collage soul cards, where she again became very accomplished.
She leaves behind her husband, Fred, of fifty-eight years, her daughters Alisa and Samara, and her sisters Alita and Sarita.
Her wishes were that there not be a memorial. She would rather be remembered personally and at gatherings of the various circles to which she belonged. She would like you to consider making donations to the Enlightened Soul Center in Ann Arbor and/or the Barbara Brennan School of Healing.
