Mary Sue Kaufman, age 87, passed away on Sunday, June 11, 2023, in Michigan City, Indiana.
Mary was born on April 5, 1936, in Turrell, Arkansas, to Arthur and Mary Watson, who preceded her in death.

Mary retired from 212 Furniture in sales and was a member of the FOP. She loved her music, especially gospel and the old country. Mary enjoyed cooking for her family, especially her fried chicken and catfish dinners. She loved all of her dogs and called them all "Baby," except for one.
