She was proceeded in death by her parents, John Henry and Josephine Elizabeth Wood; her sister, Ruth Wood Garrett and her brother, Herald Dean Wood.

Sue was a longtime and faithful member of Deerfoot Baptist Church, formerly 85th Street Baptist Church, where she was a devoted Financial Secretary for 22 years. While an active church member, she graciously and humbly served on almost every committee as well as Nursery Director and taught her beloved three, four and five year olds in Sunday School. Sue's life revolved around her family, her "church family" - especially her children in Sunday School--and her friends. She was a strong and kind woman and will be missed by all those who knew and loved her.
