Born Carol Sue Hurst on April 3, 1947, in Barwick, Georgia, to Arthur Hurst and Evelyn Jordan Hurst, Carol Sue attended school in Lowndes County. Carol Sue worked a number of years at Strickland's Cotton Mill in Remerton before beginning a career at Bayliner in Valdosta. She then met her soulmate, Bob, and they opened B&C Detailing and spent many years ensuring that their customers received the best care and service.

Carol Sue was naturally outgoing and friendly, never met a stranger, and absolutely loved music and fishing. Her proudest accomplishments in life were her five daughters. She loved them unconditionally and has always been their provider and protector.
