The Sue Q. Wedel Memorial Race
June, 2015
With great sadness we report that we have lost one of our strongest supporters in Wyoming. Sue Q. Wedel passed away on Monday, June 1, 2015 at the age of 88 at her home in Laramie. Her family was with her. Sue was an incredible force in and behind WYGAP. Sue raised a substantial part of the funds for sending accompaniers to Guatemala, working to support Guatemalan human rights defenders there. In terms of her political awareness, her thinking and beliefs resulted from her husband’s engagement with Guatemala and his work with peace and justice groups there. WYGAP was so incredibly fortunate to have had her work with us. Sue shared our commitment to solidarity with communities resisting resource extraction and working for justice for genocide. She was an inspiration to us all and her commitment to the “Guatemala Project,” as her family referred to us, was strong.
