She was born on April 26, 1935, in Putnam County, West Virginia, to the late Orlin and Leliar Wallace Gibson. Sue spent most of her career in the banking industry, working in Louisville, Ohio; Garland, Texas; and Nashville, Tennessee. In 1998, she and her husband retired to Arizona.
Sue enjoyed traveling, cooking, gardening, sewing, and most of all, spending time with her family. She was especially proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought her great joy.
In addition to her parents, Sue was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 63 years, James Estelle Doss; her brothers, Eschol "Eck" Gibson, Earl Gibson, Carl Gibson, Charles Gibson, Kent Gibson, and Ed Gibson, and her sister, Ruth Fetty.
She is survived by her daughter, Pamela Nelson, and son-in-law, Greg Nelson; her grandsons Mark Nelson (Lisa) and Andrew Nelson (Sarah); and her great-grandchildren, Audrey, Logan, James, and Brooks. She is also survived by her sisters Reda Alford and Connie Beal, along with many nieces and nephews.
Her love for family and the memories they shared will remain in their hearts always. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
