She was united in marriage to her husband of 52 years, Michael J. Sube, on June 14, 1958, at St. Mary’s Church, Little Falls. The couple left Little Falls in 1959 and moved to Gouverneur where they resided for 42 years, and where Michael was employed as a pharmacist.

In 1969, Mrs. Sube received one of the first kidney transplants in the country. Both she and her husband were strong supporters of organ donation.
While in Gouverneur, she was the recorder for American Red Cross blood drives for many years, as well as a former Cub Scout den mother and was active in the Mothers’ March of Dimes.
She is survived by her husband, Michael; her son, Jeffrey M. Sube, of Baltimore, Md.; her daughter, Carrie B. Gabriel, of Arvada, Colo.; her sister, Naomi Gross, of Herkimer; and several nieces and nephews.
A memorial Mass will be offered on Saturday, July 31, 2010, at 10 a.m. from Holy Family Parish Church, corner of Main and John streets, Little Falls, with the Rev. Thomas Lawless officiating. Interment will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery, town of Herkimer.
The family will be present at the church to receive relatives and friends on Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. prior to the Mass.
