The White Family, So sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. I had known her for many years as she helped me with book keeping for the former Big Elms Restaurant. Later years serving Sue and her Mom at Club 57. My thoughts and Prayers are with you all. Sue was definitely an inspiration and will be sadly missed by her family.
I am sorry to hear of Sue’s passing. She so enjoyed life, children and grandchildren. Over the years I visited Heather and Sue often in Arkport. Our family connection is through Morris Shepard Jr, my second cousin. Sue’s life is a celebration. Condolences to your whole family.
Condolences are sent to the family. She is now at peace.
Sue and Hester, sitting in the front row, ready for things to get going. Sue was so faithful to call whenever there was something happening, which she thought the Board would need to know to perform our duties. She was the embodiment of civic responsibility and we appreciated her participation.
