Carol Sue Burton-Gorman

Carol Sue was born and raised in New Jersey. She has one son, Bob, who is married to Joan Burton, and both are members of UCF. Carol Sue became a UU member in 1968 in Ridgewood N.J.
She had always dreamed of becoming an actress, training with Lee Strasberg, then working on the soap opera “ The Doctors.”
As a member of the Camerata Singers, she performed choral music with the NY Philharmonic under the baton of Leonard Bernstein.
Carol Sue and her husband lived in Pakistan and Chile as part of the U.S. Foreign Service during the 1970’s. While there, she acted in the Tennessee Williams’ play “Summer and Smoke” and enjoyed reading her glowing fan mail.
Returning to the States in the 1980’s, Carol Sue attended Juilliard to study music therapy. She then attended Ramapo College at age 44 and received her BA degree in phycology. Certified in social work, she worked as a medical social worker during the AIDS crisis.
Carol Sue married Rob Gorman in 1991 and retired to Cape Cod in 2001. Following Rob’s death, she moved to Morehead City to be near her “kids”.
She is a voracious reader and is happiest in her kitchen listening to classical PRE radio while singing and cooking. She has joined the UCF book club, discussion group and choir as a soprano (under the baton of Tom Cullison!) and green sanctuary.

Welcome, Carol Sue!
