                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. GREG STANTON

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 2023

  Mr. STANTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and legacy of 
Susan Glawe, who we lost at the age of 80 on August 14, 2023.
  Sue moved to Phoenix in 1962, where she began her career at the 
Arizona State Legislature and the Chamber of Commerce before finding 
her true calling at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona, where she 
remained until her retirement. It was through her work at BCBS that 
many of us came to know her--as Vice President of Community Relations, 
she redefined effective, compassionate corporate giving. The causes she 
championed were deeply impactful in Arizona, touching all corners of 
the state.
  Sue was never one to do anything halfway. In addition to her deep 
professional involvement, she managed to chair, sit on the board, and 
hold membership in dozens of nonprofit organizations in her personal 
capacity. She was a deeply respected and trusted advisor and mentor to 
a generation of non-profit leaders--and quite a few political leaders 
as well. Sue understood government and civic space better than anyone. 
She held elected leaders to the same standard she held herself: to 
deliver results, but always to do so with integrity.
  Sue lived by a motto to wake up every morning and do something good 
for someone else. But despite her remarkable accomplishments, she was 
always humble when it came to accepting praise. In fact, the most you 
would ever hear her talk about herself would be when she was talking 
about her family. She's survived by her beloved sons, Mike and Chris, 
and grandchildren Phoebe, John, and Thomas.
  I thank Sue for her years of counsel and friendship. Godspeed.
