Sue Foley - Mar 6, 2014

Sue F. Foley, Governor of District 5010 (Alaska and the Yukon) died unexpectedly on March 6. A long-time com-munity leader and banker, Sue envisioned a world where no child will be hungry or without adequate housing, clothing, education or care.

Sue demonstrated her strong personal commitment to youth through her involvement with Anchorage East Rotary, which she joined in 1999. Within a year she led a team to South India to participate in a Rotary NID. A few years later, she returned to India as a GSE team leader, and she led a second NID team to northern India in 2006. She traveled to Eagle’s Nest Orphan-age in Tomsk, Russia, on a volunteer project that same year.

Among her many Rotary leadership positions, Sue served as the Alaska/Yukon GSE Coordinator, as Club Visioning Facilitator, and as Registrar and organizational committee member for a Zone Institute and several D-5010 District Conferences. She has served as District 5010’s Rotary Foundation Chair, among numerous other Rotary roles.

Sue’s work to make life better for children in her community, Alaska, and the world was done with very little fanfare or self-aggrandizement. She preferred to work quietly, getting things done in a most efficient and timely manner.

Sue was proud to share her time in service and travel with her husband, Harold Foley, also a Rotarian.

Sue’s good friend and Immediate Past District Governor Peggy Pollen has assumed the role of Acting Governor of District 5010 for the remainder of the 2013-14 Rotary year.
