Sue was the nineth child out of a family of ten children. She wrote a fascinating self-published book describing her life and times while growing up in the mid-1900’s. She was a caring, loving woman who faithfully kept in touch with all her family, exchanging letters weekly with her parents and making lots of phone calls to check in on others, as well as taking several adventurous trips out to California and Texas to visit siblings.

She was woman of deep faith and was a member of Park Place Baptist Church and a longtime former member of Temple Baptist Church.

Sue worked most of her professional career in the mortgage loan and finance department in the banking industry. She took great pride in her home, loved reading her bible, cross-stitching and doing word search puzzles.
