Billie Sue was polite, friendly and kindest person you would ever meet. She loved her family and friends, and it showed with every move she made. She was very talented in a lot of ways. We didn't get to visit as much as we would have liked, but having social media was a blessing for us. She was the best Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother her family could have had. I loved you Billie Sue and will never forget you.
Gertie M Harvell Barber - Cousin
Johnny and Karrie, and family you are in my prayers. Sue was a kind woman with a very meek and quiet spirit. She had a beautiful smile. I have several memories; one, going to your home for dinner when you lived near Prairie Grove Lake. I don’t know her grandkids but enjoyed looking at all these photos, God bless.
