On April 13, 1957, she married Richard Scott, who preceded her in death on April 25, 2015, after 58 wonderful years of marriage.

Sue is survived by her brother, George (Loma) Morrison; a son, not by blood but by love, Karl White (John Knowles); many cherished nieces, nephews, and friends who will miss her dearly; and her beloved dachshunds, Sparkles and Ace.

Sue graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a bachelor’s degree in education. She was an active member of the Delta Zeta Sorority and the Delta Zeta Alumni Group through EIU.

Sue was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church in Charleston, IL, where she served several terms as a Deacon. She had a zest for life and enjoyed spending time with friends, especially going out to eat and participating in various craft projects. A talented seamstress, she created many beautiful patchwork dresses with whatever fabric she had on hand. Sue also had a deep love for music, playing the piano and singing in numerous choruses throughout the years. She was a devoted animal lover and mother to many dogs, often taking in needy dogs and showering them with love and care.
