Suzanne Cushingberry Obituary

Suzanne Hudson Cushingberry, 67, passed away peacefully at Lane Purcell Hospice House in Leesburg, Florida, on June 21, 2017. Although she had battled cancer for the last two years, it wasn't until the last few days of her life that she had to slow down a little bit, even hiking on June 10 to see a bench dedicated in memory of her brother, Chuck, on the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. Sue was born June 10, 1950, in Fulton, New York, to Daniel and Lois Hudson. Her family moved to Leesburg, Florida, when she was 7 and the majority of her extended family is still there. She joined the Air Force and met her husband Bruce while at tech school. They were stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, New Mexico, in 1977 where they stayed after leaving the military. As a veteran, Sue went to college to become a school teacher, which was truly her calling. She touched hundreds of children's lives over her 32 years as a teacher in Christian schools, putting her mark on them as they progressed into smarter young men and women. But what she will be most remembered for is her absolute love of Jesus and the Christian radiance that poured out of her through her infectious smile, character and overall positive outlook on life. Sue is predeceased by her parents; her younger brother, Charles Hudson; and her grandsons, Chester Trent Anderson and Saeed Pryor. She is survived by husband of 40 years Bruce Cushingberry; son Jason (Natalie) Brundage; daughter Kelley (Stephen) Stirling; step-daughter, Vicki Thompson; multiple grandchildren and great grand-children; sisters Amy Nave and Doris (Dick) Codding; brother David (Melodie) Hudson; and multiple nieces and nephews. A memorial service for Sue will take place at Christ Community Church in Alamogordo, New Mexico, on Thursday, July 6, at 11 a.m.

Bruce and family, We were so surprised to hear of Sue's passing. We know that she touched many lives of young people, our two sons - Darrell and Keith, can testify to that. We were also impacted by her life as we had the opportunity to work alongside her for a number of years. She will be missed. Our prayers are for you and the family to feel God's presence and peace and know for sure where Sue is. We will see her soon. Blessings, Tom and Kathy Kearns
