She was a loving wife, daughter, Mother, sister, aunt, and friend to many, but most importantly, the best NeNe and Grandma a kid could dream of. She had boundless energy, and nothing was off limits at her house. These children were her pride and joy and in turn adored her.

Sue loved cooking, porch sitting, visiting with family and neighbors, drinking coffee, quilting, growing flowers and had spent countless hours volunteering at Church and in the community on various projects. She touched many lives with her friendship, kindness, and humor.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Hubert and Isaphene Hightower; one brother-in-law, Darrell Gill; and one cherished niece, Charlotte Williams.

Sue will truly be missed by her family and many friends.
