Daughter of Joseph Alphonso McGimsey and Frances Collette McGimsey, she was affectionately known as "Aunt Sue". She was married to Andrew Hunter McGimsey on 9 April 1882. Their children were: Samuel Tate McGimsey, John Nantz McGimsey, THeodore Bynum McGimsey, and Andrew Parks McGimsey. Six of seven grandchildren also survived Mrs. McGimsey.

She also helped bring up four little neighbor girls who were left motherless. One of them, Mrs. J.S. Kincaid, wrote this tribute to her:

" I have never heard her speak harmfully of anyone nor have I heard an unkind word spoken of her. It was not her way. She came regularly to help us and give us advice and counsel and I went often to her house. There was always a spread of light bread, butter, and honey. Once the call of mother's love was too strong and I ran away to spend the afternoon with her."

One of the last things Mrs. McGimsey said was her message to loved ones: "Tell them I am dying happy."

Her funeral was conducted at Mountain Grove Church by the Reverends A. Burgess, B.C. Reavis, and J.M. Varner.
