She was truly creative and had an artist's eye. For several years, Sue worked at Kroger as a cake decorator. Her talent especially showed in her drawings, and she loved making caricatures and cartoons. In her free time, Sue also enjoyed travelling, especially to Israel or going on cruises.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Charlotte Taylor and her siblings, JD, James, Ed, Norma, Melford, and Mary Lou.
