Susan James Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
A spirited and social soul, Sue was a fantastic and fun bartender, serving at the Eagles Club, the American Legion, and the Penalty Box. In addition to her bar work, she owned and operated her own cleaning business. Sue was always looking after others. Whether volunteering her time, making delicious food or crafting thoughtful gifts, she led with generosity and kindness. She had a flair for fun-dancing, gambling, laughing, and socializing were among her favorite pastimes.
Sue and the love of her life, Morris "Bob" Redick, shared many years of joy and love together. Their story began through shared friends and blossomed over time, with many special memories made whether at one of the many social clubs they belonged to, motorcycle rides, cruising Woodward, traveling, volunteering.
Family meant the world to Sue. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She is survived by her beloved children: Wayne (Laura) James, Lori James, Jenise Jaikins, and Michelle Barber; cherished grandchildren: Jeannie, Christopher, Heather, Nicholas, William, Juliana, Justin, Katelyn, and Madelyn; and her great-granddaughter, Cheyenne. Along with all of her nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her loving sister Kathy (Spiros) Mellas. Sue was preceded in death by her soulmate, Morris "Bob" Redick, her brother Bob Adsit, and Bob's son, Scott Redick. Known for her joyful sayings like "Oh la la!" and her ever-present smile, Sue's memory will live on in the hearts of all who were lucky enough to know her.
