Meet Our Board -Sue McCrum

“I love being back in the County. I enjoy spending time with family here on the farm and at our family camp.  Supporting our grandchildren’s sporting events and activities is so much fun! I like downhill and cross country skiing and I’m still working on my golf game! I am thankful for the privilege of working with other Board members who support this wonderful project in Aroostook County. What a great vision the founders of the House of Comfort had to provide hospice clients and their families such a unique space to care for their loved ones.”

Sue resides in Mars Hill with her spouse of 52 years, Jay McCrum. Together, they have raised three children and are the proud grandparents of nine grandchildren. Since 1971, Sue has supported her family-owned farm businesses in Aroostook County and Belfast.

Gould Hospital in Presque Isle from 1971 to 1978. In the early 1990s, Sue trained as a hospice volunteer under Janet Durgin. She has since volunteered for hospice care in central Aroostook County and, after moving to Belfast in 2004, continued her volunteer efforts there.
