Effie Sue Latham

Effie Sue Latham, 73, formerly of Baytown passed away on June 26, 2014 in a La Marque assisted living facility. Sue was born on April 21, 1941 in San Augustine County, Texas to the late Joseph and Maudie Creech. She was a member of the Eastern Star, her kindness and generosity did not stop with a service organization; she never met a stranger and would open her home up to any one in need. She lived by the motto that ""there is always room for one more"". Sue was a fiercely loyal, passionate and honest person, some would say brutally so. Once you were her friend there was nothing that she wouldn't do for you. Sue enjoyed painting ceramics and making Christmas ornaments. She was an excellent baker and she was famous for her amazing chicken and dumplings.

Sue is preceded in death by her husband of 46 years, Hillary James ""H.J."" Latham; grandson, Zachary Latham and great granddaughter, Hayden Jade Latham. Left to cherish her memory are her sons and daughter-in-law, James H. Latham, of Kansas, Joseph M. Latham, of Baytown and Jerrod C. and Terri Latham, of Spring; grandchildren, Jason, Natasha, Kadee, Brittney, Hannah, Connor, Cassidy, Brooke, Riley, Brennan and Jett; great grandchildren, Russell, Isabella, Kaidence, Ryan, James and Cain; God daughter, Terry Thielen and husband, Greg and numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and friends.
