Suzanne Ellen Bright, 76, passed away peacefully on January 16, 2024 at The Residence at Selleck Woods in Darien, CT.

Sue  was the daughter of the late Reverend Andrew Sabo and Madge Sabo.  She  was born in the town of Liberal, KS on January 21, 1947 and spent most  of her childhood in Wichita, KS.  She graduated from St. John’s College  in Winfield, KS in 1967 with a degree in music before settling in  Overland Park, KS, where she lived for almost 50 years.

Sue’s  relationship with God and her church were central to her life.  Growing  up as the daughter of a “preacher’s kid”, she was passionate about being  a part of her church community.  For many years she played the organ  and piano as well as taught Sunday school at Bethany Lutheran Church  (the parish started by her late father Rev. Andrew Sabo).  She also  enjoyed spending time with friends at Bible studies where she  established some of her closest friendships.

Sue raised two  sons while working in a physician’s office and it was through work that  she met her second husband Tom Bright.  They were married on August 9,  1997, blending two families that remain close to this day. Sue is  survived by her two sons Justin Livengood (Mary Beth) and Ryan Livengood  and the five grandchildren between them.  She is also survived by Tom’s  four stepchildren (Jeff Bright, Kim Ladd, Michael Bright & Lisa  Zynczak) and their five grandchildren.
