Years of watching Darling of the floor . Skipping around . In her bubble with the music  . Her photos will remain for the love she felt for the Soul Music and all those attending  ! If snap didn't do justice.  Would take another .
So brave fought the illness to the last . Never allowing it to take away her joy .
Angel of Dance Floor Gone R.I.P Skippy Sue .
Never forgotten ❤

So sad xxx

 

[Winsford Soul]

The world is a much sadder, darker place without your smiling face, dancing and taking pictures. But you have suffered enough and you can sleep now without pain. Until we see you again at that big all nighter in the sky.

Rest in Peace. 

Love Steve and lou. XXX

God Bless Sue our Dancing Girl & take care of her on the big dance floor in heaven. Our thoughts are also with you Pete & your boys. Sue danced a groove in the tiled floor at our house in Spain over the last 14yrs we had many fab sessions. Will miss her always. Steve & Chris.

The world of Northern Soul will be an emptier  place without Sue on that dance floor and a big void ahead of capturing on camera; the enjoyment of folk at the venues.

Rest in Peace  Sue xx

Hi folks Pete here, 

Today at 11am was my dear wife Susan's (Skippy Sue's) funeral. Her body was cremated at Howe Bridge crematorium. In my eulogy I gave another mention about my gratitude to the many soulies (and others) who have supported us through this difficult period. A few days ago we had the unexpected permission and bonus of allowing a few extra guests. I took this opportunity to ask a few of Susan's closest friends to be present. A few pictures were taken. When we have the memorial hopefully sooner rather than later There will be some recollection of the funeral service etc. 

Thanks to every one of you for your cooperation and understanding in these dangerous times.

Best wishes, Pete, Robert and Kevin Triska 
xx

So saddened to learn of Sue's passing. My wife and i got to know Sue nigh on 20 years ago on our first visit to the Monaco Ballroom, Sue made us feel so welcome and then we used to see her at other venues we attended such as the Middleton nighter's eventually being introduced to Pete. Last saw Sue and Pete at Christmas and its so very sad to think we will not see her again out on a floor somewhere dancing the whole night as she did.

Our sincere condolences to Pete and family.

Happy memories of Sue skipping up and down the floor at Orrell and elsewhere, blunt, to the point no prisoners,  ''Oi you, you're dancing on my talc!!'' so sad for us-be some party over the hill. Some lovely conversations, beautiful inside and out.  Deepest deepest respects to the Triska family and friends.

Such a beautiful person inside and out.. Will be missed by the majority of venues in the North West.. it just won't be the same without her dancing or doing the rounds with her camera 

 

RIP lovely lady
