She was born in Bladen County to Eldred and Alice Davis in October of 1946. She lived the majority of her life in the Oak Grove Community of Bladen County; where she was a lifelong and very active member of Oak Grove Original Freewill Baptist Church.



Sue loved working with the young people of her church, most recently as a Sunday school teacher to the younger children. In past years she was active in Girl Scouts as a leader and as an involved parent.

For many years she volunteered her time and skills to many of the organizations of West Bladen High School (also at Bladenboro High School before consolidation). She voluntarily drove the activity bus for the different groups and was known by the students as "Miss Sue".

She worked for twenty-nine years and retired from the United States Census Bureau in 2008. For many years, up until the present time, she also drove a school bus and served as a substitute teacher.
