Soft-hearted and loving, Sue was always thinking of and helping other people. She greeted those she met with a warm smile and took time to join in friendly conversation. Sue was family-focused and close to her family. Even extended family and friends felt cherished with her warm and loving nature. Sue was a loving and devoted wife and mother to Floyd and Steven, and doting grandmother to Lilly and Lila, and wonderful sister. Sue’s love and care was also extended to plants which would abound and flourish under her care. Above all, Sue was a Godly woman and saint. She was a member of the Doniphan Church of Christ.
