Sue was born in Water Valley, MS on August 4, 1943 to her late parents, Roy Lee Larson and Fannie Lou (Ward) Larson. She graduated from University of Mississippi and Memphis State University finishing with a Masters degree in Education. Sue raised her children in Greenwood, MS with her late husband, Bill (William Sr.)
After her years of teaching, she served the people of the State of Mississippi until retiring as a Bureau Director for the Division of Medicaid. Outside her career of service and even more so during retirement, Sue was always selflessly caring for others, including many neighbors and family members. Most of all, she adored her grandchildren and was happiest watching them grow. She was an active member of McLaurin United Methodist Church.
Sue was preceded in death by siblings Shirley Waller, Jim Larson, and twin sister Lou O’Neal.
She is survived by her loving children, William Elcan, Jr, Philip Elcan, and Katie Elcan, daughter-in-law Colleen Prince-Elcan (Philip), as well as her grandchildren, Adam Elcan, Hannah Elcan, Lucerro Chase-Wallace (William), and Holden Elcan. She is also survived by her brother Charles Larson.
