Sue passed away peacefully at her residence on May 10, 2025. Born on September 1, 1944, in Putnam County, TN, Sue's warmth and vivacious spirit touched the lives of all who knew her.

She worked for many years at Acme Boot Factory and later at McCords, yet it was her dedication to her family that truly defined her. A graduate of Baxter Seminary, Sue was a proud member of Johnson Baptist Church in Monterey.

An active and hardworking person, Sue was involved in various sports during her school years. Her passion for life shone through in her love for singing, dancing, and clogging, as well as the thrilling adventures she had stock car racing in her younger years. Throughout her life, she shared boundless joy, often found cheering on her grandchildren and great-grandchildren during their sporting events, or tending lovingly to her garden.

Sue cherished the simple yet profound pleasures in life, whether it was savoring a Dairy Queen hamburger and ice cream or indulging in her favorite gospel music. She served on the Putnam County Fair Board for many years, an accomplishment that exemplified her commitment to enriching the lives of others.

She is survived by her devoted husband, JB Davis, who she has shared life with for the past 66 years; her daughters, Marsha Scott and husband Matt, and Sherry Jackson and husband Steve; her son, Danny (Darlene) Davis; grandchildren Amanda (Derrick) Bush, Stephen Jackson, Lashay Davis, and Justin (Heather) Younger; great-grandchildren Mackenzy Jackson, Talan Jackson, Lily Jackson, Brayden Jackson, Kayden Jackson, Christian Jackson, Jaxson Bush, Kameron Bush, Hutson Bush, Myah Eldridge, Blakelynn Allen, Luca Davis, Harlyn Younger, and Ryker Younger; and great-great-grandchild Zayden Sherrill. Linda is also survived by her brothers, Leamon "Pug" (Sharon) Sliger, Hubert Ronald (Kay) Sliger, and Kenneth Wayne Sliger; and by special friends, Sheila Hammock and Wendy Will.

She is preceded in death by her parents whom she adored, Hugh Lillard Sliger and Eunice Williams Sliger, as well as by an infant brother, Jerry Sliger.

Family and friends will serve as pallbearers.
