Sue became a member of Tanglewood Baptist Church in 1969 and it is there that she married Kenneth Cook on April 20, 1985. She was a caregiver her

She was a caregiver her whole life, whether she was taking care of her family or working as a dialysis nurse for Austin Diagnostic Clinic in Giddings.

Her grandchildren were her world. She enjoyed watching them play sports, going on vacations, and spending as much time with them as she could. They loved singing silly songs together.

Her favorite places to vacation were the beach, New England states during the fall to watch the leaves change, and Australia. The time she spent on the mountain slopes were usually in the lodge drinking coffee that she loved so much.

Family reunions were important and she made sure her family was represented at the gatherings.

Yellow was her favorite color and she enjoyed sunflowers and yellow roses. She enjoyed working in her yard and tending to her flowers. Sue loved shopping and would always buy more than she needed just to get the “deal.”

She loved the Lord and her church family at Tanglewood Baptist. Over the years, she taught Sunday school, was on the Kitchen Committee, spent countless hours cleaning, and for the past two years was a huge supporter of the new building project.
