Sue was born on September 14, 1935, to James and Lana East, in Ilsley, Kentucky. She was a wonderful daughter, wife, mother, and grandmother. Sue loved to shop, go tanning, and sing. She was a fashionable woman who always wanted to look her best. You would never see Sue without her hair and makeup done. Sue loved people as much as she loved her late-night snacks. Holidays and birthdays were Sue’s favorite. She enjoyed giving gifts and was a mom to just about everyone, not just her five children. Sue was a Godly woman and instilled her faith in Christ into her children. Sue was a graceful, faithfully devoted woman and will be missed by all who knew her.
