Susan Ann Ayesh was born in Wichita, Kansas, on August 4, 1933. Her parents were Lusta and Jack Connell. She attended parochial and Wichita public schools. She married William A. Ayesh in 1951. Mr. Ayesh was engaged in the hotel and restaurant industry. Sue became involved with her husband in various restaurant operations.

Most notably, Susan was very instrumental in the formation and establishment of the first Wichita State Alumni and Faculty Club in 1969. The club was housed in the old Crestview Country Club building. From 1969 until 1985, Sue acted as General Manager and gracious hostess involved in all aspects of the operations of the faculty and alumni club. Her devotion to the university, alumni, faculty, friends and supporters of the university was unquestionable and outstanding and undertaken by Sue in a humble manner.
