The Smoky Mountains were her favorite, her bucket list trip was seeing the colors change in the mountains which she was able to achieve this past fall staying in a cabin with her closest friends and her family.  She was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. She laughed easily and loved big. Sue had a huge heart and infectious smile. She is one of those people that leave a hole that no one else can fill, when they are taken. She was married 33 years to her loving husband, Larry. They were blessed with two children, Emily and Andrew. Most of all, Memaw's greatest joy in life were her grandchildren; Brooklyn, James and Lincoln.
