I worked with Sue for over 20 years. She was a great nurse and my friend. She was a kind, smart and very honest person. Condolence to her family. I know she will be really missed.
A very nice lady Iworked with Asue in Home Health years ago.
Thoughts and
Prayers to you all;
Sincerely;
Gayle Nixon.
I knew Susie from working at WNJ with my mother, Evelyn Pugh. Susie always had a smile and I enjoyed knowing her. She was a great nurse. Prayers to the family in this time of sorrow.
Prayers for comfort and strength for family and friends. Worked with Sue in Restorative Care at old TMC. She was a very good and special nurse.
Sue, Susie as I called her was one special lady, and it was a joy to know her The last time I talked to her was at Church, and she came running up to Faye Nell and I telling us about her new place and getting to be with her children. She will be dearly missed and prayers and blessings to all the family.
She spent her life helping other as a friend and in the health industry.

Our hearts and prayers are with you during the loss of Sue. She was a treasure. Mom (Marybell), send our love.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of loss. May the Lord be with you and help guide you through this difficult journey!
Charlie, Jeanell Harris and family
So sorry for your loss. Buford & I
thought a lot of your Mom & Dad.
We enjoyed playing dominoes on Ross Ave. in Sherman in the 1960’s
before kiddos. They were a joy and blessing all these years! Glad you had your Mom to enjoy! Love you! 😍
Sue had one of the prettiest smiles I have ever seen. She lit up any room she entered. She will be so missed by friends and family. Prayers for her family that God will hold them in his loving arms during this time of grief
You three kids were so lucky to have such a wonderful mom, and dad! And your parents were blessed to have three wonderful children. I just received your sweet thank you note and was just thinking how proud Sue would be of all of you. I am sorry you are having to go through this loss at such a young age, but she will always be with you.
My note is a little late…but I really thought I had already signed the Guestbook but evidently I didn’t. Susie and I shared so many good times throughout our school years from 1st grade to graduation. We even rode the same bus to school and saved each other a seat. Sleep overs with just the two of us or with our other friends (Evelyn, Donna ad Joevelyn) were always looked forward to by all of us. After graduation we drifted apart and didn’t see each other often so it was always a special time when we did get together and it was always as if we had just seen each other yesterday. Susie always had the most fun personality and caring heart of anyone I know. To know her was definitely to love her and I did. Throughout the years, her love for her family always was so evident in talks with her. I came to feel like I personally knew Jody, Krista and Anissa well through her stories of them and it was so unfortunate to meet them under the sad circumstance that we did. I know that they fully realize just how much their mom loved them and that they will always cherish their precious memories of not only Susie but Joe as well. I know I for sure will always feel a void that Susie is no longer in my life but I’ll smile when I think of her and my memories of a very special and unique friend. Rest in peace, my dear friend, and my love and sincere condolescences to Jody, Krista and Anissa. I hope we stay in touch.
