Sue McClean died on July 26, 13 weeks after diagnosis, at the home she shared with her husband Alan McClean. Sue had a stoic attitude towards her brain tumour and decided to throw a farewell party for her friends and family in her final weeks. It was a great success and created many happy memories. The family also enjoyed a day out with 16 family members and four generations just before Sue died. Sue and Alan enjoyed many common interests including photography, jiving, travel, nature, walking and badminton. He said, “She was inspirational and strong right until the end. “Sue was amazing and so organised. Together we designed the order of service and planned her funeral. She did almost everything on the order of service, she just didn’t know the date.” She previously told the Herald she was in a ‘privileged position’ to be able to get her affairs in order.
