Sue loved spending time at the lake with family and friends; serving others through providing meals; visiting her family farm in Wing, Alabama, traveling in the RV across the United States and attending concerts. She was a godly person, with a servant's heart. She had an infectious personality and never met a stranger. She truly earned her nickname "Mama Sue" as she welcomed everyone into her family.
