      On Aug. 1, 2010 Sue Hernan passed away from a drowning accident at Berlin Lake. In life as in her death she was a true hero. She served as the chairperson of the missions committee at Boardman United Methodist church for many years. During her term she organized various fund-raising activities. Her chili cook-off was one of her biggest pet projects. For the past seven years the church has named this event in Sue’s honor.
