They moved to Minden and joined the Minden United Methodist Church. Sue was married to Warren Robbins on March 26, 2002.
Sue loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own, and was always thought of as the fun-loving aunt. She handmade each of their first born children’s baby blankets, even the ones not yet born. Sue was always the life of the party. She made everyone feel welcomed and special. Her smile could light up any room.
Sue enjoyed going to the lake, spending time at the family cabin at Taylor Manor and boating. She enjoyed spending her time sewing, knitting, and scrapbooking. But most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends, especially her grandchildren.
They were her world. Blakely, Bently, Bodie, and Blaise will miss their “Neema” dearly.
