Zenetta Sue Bacon was born on September 4th, 1953 in Talihina, OK, the daughter of Joseph Arthur and Thelma Corinne (Wall) James. She attended school in Talihina and graduated high school at Central High School in Phoenix, AZ. She then attended college courses at NSU. On February 13th, 1971, she married the love of her life and her best friend, Robert Joseph Bacon Sr. They spent 45 years together and raised four children, Marlena, Andrea, Jennifer, and Robbie. Both Sue and her husband were Baptist by faith and faithfully attended Swimmer Baptist Church, attending Choctaw singing, working tirelessly on the Choctaw Bible Translation Committee and in any other capacity when asked. When she wasn’t working as a teachers assistant, she could be found at home sewing or quilting. She enjoyed going to the kitchen to make her famous lasagna, Indian tacos or goulash. She enjoyed bowling league and playing basketball with her children and grandchildren. Every chance she had, they would pack up and go camping, always a happy memory. She adored her children and grandchildren, and never missed a chance to support them in everything they accomplished. She was quiet, kind and considerate with a smile that would light up any room. She enjoyed the simple things in life like relaxing at home with her two canine companions, Peanut and Princess. She was not a stranger to pain and had suffered the loss of her daughter Marlena and her husband Bob in 2016. Yet you never saw Sue when she wasn’t trying to make those around her happy, every day. Her health began to fail her and the Lord called her to her eternal rest on June 21st, 2018 in Oklahoma City with those she loves gathered close by her side. She was 64 years old. She leaves a void that will be impossible to fill.

Sue is preceded in death by her mother, father, husband Bob, her daughter Marlena, her sister Victoria Rave, two grandchildren, Kortney Bacon and Everett Torrez and one niece, Kari King.

Those left to cherish her memory include her children, Andrea Torrez and husband Bobby of Tahlequah, OK, Jennifer Bacon of Tahlequah, OK, and Robbie Bacon and wife Katy also of Tahlequah, OK. She leaves one sister, Ramona Godsby and husband Jim of Anchorage, AK. She lives on in her 11 grandchildren, Nigel Torrez, Joseph Bacon, Kyle Bacon, Ethan Bacon, Kyndall Bacon, Zoe Bacon, Marlena Torrez, Taylon Bacon, Valor Bacon, Koyah Littleman, and Riley Screechowl, as well as nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends and loved ones.
