Sue Gilbreath Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers from May 19 to May 20, 2022.
The family of Sue Sudduth Gilbreath will celebrate her life of 73 years at 3:00 pm on Sunday, May 22, 2022, at Lake Ridge Chapel and Memorial Designers. She passed on Tuesday, May 17, 2022. We invite you to view the live-stream service on this page and sign her virtual guestbook. We also ask you to consider viewing her Life Tribute, a video of photographs set to her favorite music.

On April 29, 1949, Sue Ann Sudduth was born to Dexy F. and Winnie Jo (Hooser) Sudduth in Fort Worth, TX. Sue graduated from Texas Tech University in 1971 with a Bachelor's Degree in Education. She went on to receive a Master's Degree in Education from The University of Texas at Arlington in 1999. Sue became a dedicated Special Education teacher and was trained on content mastery where she implemented the MAC program throughout Arlington ISD. Among her many accomplishments as an Educator, she was extremely proud to receive Teacher of the Year 2000-2001 school year and to serve Arlington ISD as Special Education Coordinator.

Sue was a proud member of Pi Beta Phi Sorority. She was an avid Bridge player and earned her life masters in duplicate bridge. She loved to travel and spend time with friends, but being Mimi to her grandchildren was her favorite accomplishment.

Survivors include her daughters, Tracy (John) Fenter, and Kaki (Robert) John; six grandchildren, Aspen Fenter, Averi John, Abby John, Braden Fenter, Justin Fenter, Jake Fenter; sister, Kay (Bill) Young; and her precious dog, Daisy. She was preceded in death by her parents and grandparents.

Sue was one of most caring people I have ever known. She poured her heart into everything thing she did. Sue touched the lives of so many people in the bridge community in Arlington. She was happiest when she was planning a celebration for someone else´s accomplishment. Sue served on the board of the Arlington Duplicate Bridge Club for several years. Not only did she plan and host our parties, she also worked with many newer players to help them assimilate into duplicate. Sue became one of my best friends and a very important part of my life. May she find peace.
Prayers for Tracy, Kaki, Kay and all her family. Know that she loved you all with all her heart.

So sorry to hear of Sue Gilbreath´s passing. We worked at Arlington ISD as Special Education Curriculum Coordinator together. She was such a wonderful person, a caring individual and so supportive to the teachers she supervised. To her daughters Tracy and Kaki your mom has made an incredible impact on the students she taught and on the teachers she supervised and supported. May her soul Rest In Peace.
