She retired from the City of Augusta Waterworks Department and was a lifetime member of First Baptist Church of Augusta.

In addition, Sue is survived by her four beautiful great-granddaughters, Cora and Molly Perry of Suwanee, GA, and Kathleen Page and Mary Clarke Timmerman of Canton, GA, and Kayden Jackson of Augusta.

Other survivors include one sister, Martha Louise Cook (Dan) of Augusta; a sister-in-law, Billie Ogburn Wardlaw of Augusta, and a cousin, Robert W. Hawes of Augusta. She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.
