CHAMPION, Ohio (MyValleyTributes) – Sue Ellen Stinedurf, 73, of Champion, entered eternal rest on Sunday, November 10, 2024 at her home.

Sue later joined the Trumbull County Prosecutor's Office where she was the investigator for child abuse and child homicide. Sue was also a licensed polygraphist. She took pride in her work protecting and advocating for children and families of Trumbull County.
In her personal life she enjoyed many things. She was an avid gardener and always had different vegetables and flower beds planted every spring. Sue enjoyed reading, spending time outdoors, swimming, scuba diving, fishing, camping on their personal lake property, taking care of her pet peacocks, swans and various exotic duck breeds.
More than any of those hobbies though, Sue loved her family. Her children and grandchildren were the light of her life. Sue loved deeply and whole heartedly. She also adored spending time playing with and babysitting three granddogs. She lovingly referred to them as her babies, Falkor, Indiana Bones and Jasper.
