She retired from the City of Augusta Waterworks Department and was a lifetime member of First Baptist Church of Augusta.

A talented pianist, Sue had an uncanny ability to play nearly any song in the Baptist hymnal from memory. She was known for her quick wit and wonderful sense of humor.

Survivors include her one son, Daniel Gordon Perry (Judy) of Grovetown; and three daughters, Julie Anne Perry Timmerman (Rawl) of Martinez, Susan Amanda Perry Gut (Henry) of Augusta, and Lisa Diane Perry Hunter (Ben) of Martinez.

In addition, Sue is survived by her four beautiful great-granddaughters, Cora and Molly Perry of Suwanee, GA, and Kathleen Page and Mary Clarke Timmerman of Canton, GA, and Kayden Jackson of Augusta.

Other survivors include one sister, Martha Louise Cook (Dan) of Augusta; a sister-in-law, Billie Ogburn Wardlaw of Augusta, and a cousin, Robert W. Hawes of Augusta. She also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews.

We have many fond memories of Sue and the rest of the Perry's ever since we were little. Most recently I've enjoyed sharing cute little stories and jokes with her on Facebook as we keep up with our mutual families. She was one of mama's best friends. I know she will be missed. Many thoughts and prayers from the Murphy girls. ❤

I was saddened to learn of the passing of "Miss Sue Wardlaw Perry, one of my favorite young ladies in my early years in Augusta, she at Tubman High School and I at Richmond Academy.She was married to one of my good friends, P.G. They were a fine couple around Augusta, with many friends. It was enjoyable and comforting to be with both of them because they were also good neighbors. I am certain that Our God in Heaven has taken Miss Dudy into His fold where she shall remain forever, and join P.G. for a sweet reunion. My prayers and blessings go to her Family, especially Louise, one of my early sweet friends. Also, my brother, Jack, now deceased, thought Sue was one of the finest young girls in town. Bless you all. Jimmy Pyle.
