Sue Lee was a joy to take care of at the caring place she has a special place In my heart loved her a lot
My favorite memory of Sue Lee is when I brought my son in to see her and her face light up Sue Lee loved babys. I love hearing all of her storys of her life she was amazing woman I love her and I will miss her.
Aunt Sue often cared for me when Mom (Jane) worked. I always loved going there. My cousins kept me busy too! Aunt Sue’s favorite story about caring for me was that I was “good as gold” until Mom came to pick me up!
She was a special lady to so many people and will be remembered fondly. God bless her children for providing such devoted care of her.
My thoughts and prayers go to each of you and all the Grandchildren as well that helped make her end of life the best possible.
Sorry for your loss. 101, WOW. Looks like she lived a long and happy life. We were neighbors from Center St. Joe and Thelma Davis. (Cynthia, Sue and Jay)
As a young physician in Franklin I would see Sue at the hospital. We had many a conversation. She was delightful knowledgeable and on occasion very helpful as I learned the ropes. Dad told me how well she sung in days of their youth. My condolences to Jane (Class of 69) and all of the family.

Sending sincere condolences to Jim and Rita as well as other family members
Mrs. Lee was a beautiful lady inside and out. Prayers for comfort for all.
Sympathy to Sue and her family. She’s in a much better place……….
Sorry to hear of the family’s loss. This picture looks exactly how I remember her when I was in school and friends with Jeannie. I’m sure there are many memories. Prayers during this time of grief.
So sorry for your loss. Prayers go out to all of you. It was my pleasure to take care of her. “Mama”Sue is what I called her. I will always remember her, the girls, and granddaughters. She was beautiful inside and out. Every evening 3-11 she made it easy for me to go to work. I will miss her and the girls.
Sue was always such a remarkable person, both inside and out. Very sweet, friendly and kind, it was a pleasure to have met her and the family. Even though the last few years, every time we “met” was like the first time Sue met me, she was always very polite and friendly. She loved to tell stories of her remarkable century on this planet, and I know she will be deeply missed.
