I remember Aunt Sue as a fun and energetic person I always enjoyed being around her when she stayed with my Grandma. Her personality was young and fun. It was always interesting being in the car with her and Grandma. 2 "great" drivers"!!

I loved Sue & Vernon and have many fond memories of the two of them coming to our home in Radford. Always laughing, Sue was a wonderful person. I lost contact with Sue after I remarried and moved to Danville, KY., but I never forgot her or all our joyous memories. Love, Sandra Saul Stosser

Sue was the greatest Aunt, We loved spending time with her and Uncle Vernon, every summer. Vernon would entertain us until Sue got home from work. I loved it when she would call us from work. Best times of my life were spent with them either here in Lexington, Ky or in Roanoke. I loved to sit on that hill behind there house at night and look at the hills. I loved Sue very much, was always told I looked like Sue, I loved that. I always thought she looked like Marilyn Monroe. Love your niece for always : Joy Stagner

Sue is a very special part of precious family memories. I married into the Saul family. I married Todd Saul, Harry Saul's son. When we were first married, Todd & I stayed several nights with Sue & Vernon. One of many wonderful memories is when we all went to the Barn Dinner Theatre. We saw a comedy that left us all laughing!!

As seen in other entries, Sue's infectious big smile and happy-go-lucky attitude is what I will remember most about her. We later lost contact with her, but never stopped loving her!! She has left a thumbprint on my heart that can never be removed. Sue, now you shine and smile in Heaven!! I look foward to seeing you again! Thanks for being the precious, laughter-filled lady you were. Love always, Teresa Viers Saul & Family

SUE AND I WERE FRIENDS THROUGH OUR EMPOYMENT AT NS {NORFOLK & WESTERN RAILWAY CO.]. MANY MORNINGS AND THROUGH THE DAY, SHE HANDLED MY CALLS AS TELEPHONE OPERATOR BEFORE MECHANIZATION.
SHE ALWAYS HAD A HAPPY DAY, BRIGHT AND CHEERFUL TO HELP WITH GETTING OR KEEPING ME THAT WAY. I NEVER EVER SAW SUE WITHOUT A BIG SHINING SMILE ON HER FACE.
DURING MY SPRING STAY AT SPRING TREE NURSING HOME, I SAW SUE AND GOT A BIG OL' HUG AND THAT SMILE AND CHATTED A WHILE. BLESSED BE HER FAMILY WHO HAD HER FOR HER TIME.
I WILL NEVER FORGET SUE AND HER SMILE AND PERSONALITY.
