Sue was born on Dec. 10, 1943, in Port Arthur, Texas, to Dennis Paul and Amy Theriot.

Sue had many hobbies and loved to have fun. Many days could find Sue playing with her flowers, playing cards and games with her ladies and always making time for her Rosary group. Sue was one to always do things for others; she didn’t tell you what you wanted to hear, instead she told what you needed to hear. Her favorite thing that always made her smile was spending time with her kids and grandkids.
