SueAnn was born on December 12, 1951, in Saginaw, Michigan to parents, Arthur John Vincent and Avis O. Jakes Vincent. She served in the United States Army as a medical specialist during the 1980's. SueAnn was known for riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles and volunteered with the Patriot Guard Riders to honor her fallen brothers and sisters in arms. She was a loving wife and a great traveling partner and enjoyed going on cruises to any and every destination available. She and her husband, Keith, even experienced their very first zipline ride in Columbia while on one of their many trips. She had quite the luck at casinos, always gravitating towards the winning slot machines when she entered. SueAnn was also an avid knitter and could always be found watching tv with at least one ball of yarn, while she worked on projects, such as making blankets and even teddy bears for local hospitals, friends and family members.

SueAnn is preceded in death by her parents, Arthur John Vincent and Avis O. (Jakes) Vincent; her twin brother, Tom Vincent; and brothers-in-law, Kenny Menchey and Randy Pawlanta.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Keith Menchey; sisters, Bette Jane Pawlanta and Mardel Couture and her husband, Richard; and sisters-in-law, Lisa Menchey and Linda Vincent.
