- April 26, 1968 - January 16, 2023
Howard , Pennsylvania - Marla "Sue" Neff Dyke, wife of Gregory Dyke of Howard, passed away January 16, 2023, after an extended illness. She was 54. Born April 26, 1968, in Lock Haven, Sue was a daughter of the late W. Robert Neff and Beulah "Quiggle" Neff who survives in Howard.
Sue was a 1986 graduate of Bald Eagle Area High School and went on to attend the Empire Beauty School in State College. She had been employed at Looks Hair Design in State College, but in 1995 she opened her own salon in Howard and operated it until she closed it due to her illness. Sue enjoyed working with her clients and made many friends. She was a member of the Howard United Methodist Church and enjoyed home decorating, antiques and attending Grange Fair. She didn't miss one fair in her 54 years. However, Sue's biggest joy was the love of her family, especially Claire and Reid, her grandbabies.
In addition to her husband of 30 years, Greg, and her mother, Sue is survived by two daughters Kaiden Aungst (Darren) of Lewistown and Makennah Cleaver (Nate) of Howard; two grandchildren, Claire Kristina Sue Cleaver and Reid Gregory Aungst; two sisters, Kimberly Nielsen (Robert) of State College and Toni Dagen (Roger) of Daytona, FL and one brother, Steven R. Neff (Brenda) of Millheim. Also surviving are numerous nieces and nephews.
