Mrs. Roberts was born October 20, 1920 in Young Harris, GA to the late Henry Monroe and Ruby Sampson Justice. She was a member of Youngstown Baptist Church and would tell everyone that she was a child of God by the grace of Christ. Sue loved to work in her flowers.

Sue was always willing to help others in any way that she could. She loved her family and her Lord.
She loved Kentucky Fried Chicken at Meeks Park, going for walks with Katie (Pomeranian), and feeding hummingbirds and other birds. She loved reading biographies and went to the library to read. It was not unusual for her to read until 11 pm in her room. For the past three years, each year, she had visited her brother, William, near Lawrenceburg TN, traveling in a motorhome.
