Sue Carolyn Gregory (Suzie) 81, of Santa Fe, New Mexico, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning, February 6, 2021 at her home with her family after a hard fought battle with cancer. She was born in Houston, Texas on June 29, 1939 to Hubert and Nellie Gregory. The family moved to Austin, Texas in 1949, Suzie’s home for the next 44 years. She attended Austin High School and the University of Texas, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree.

In 1993, Suzie relocated to Santa Fe where she taught at St Michael’s Catholic High School. After 27 years of teaching, she retired in 2018. During her tenure she pursued advanced degrees in religious education and was recognized by the Buttimer Institute of Lasallian Studies and St. Mary’s College of California.

She led St Michael’s debate teams to many successful competitions, directed drama students in many wonderful plays and worked tirelessly to provide spiritual guidance and positive influence for all of her students.
