Charlee Sue, you are in my thoughts and prayers! I know that you were your mom and dad’s whole world! Love you, sweet Charlee.
Charlie Sue I am so sorry for your loss. Your Mom and Dad were very nice people. I graduated with your Dad and worked with him at Crockett.
Teaching next to Mrs. Callahan for the past 15 years, I got to see first hand what a wonderful person she was. She was fiesty and fun loving. She was beautiful lady with a heart of gold. She was devoted to her students and class. Her love for Charlie and Charlie Sue was very evident. Never seeking recognition, year after year, she gave to many charities and community causes. Sue will be greatly missed by the Daniel Boone faculty, staff, and students. May God give Sue’s family and friends comfort, strength, and peace over the coming days.
The WCA Alumni Board has worked with Sue for several years during our events. She was always helpful & willing to do what needed to be done. Sue always loved WCA & had pride for her fellow class mates. We send love to her friends, coworkers & family. We are so thankful that she shared her love with the sweet grandchild & her daughter. We loved her dearly thank you for sharing her with us.
