Sue moved to St. Louis at a young age and later to Branson, Mo., where she married Dale McCormack, her best friend and the love of her life in 1996.
Sue and Dale owned and managed Ozark Productions in Branson for many years until Dale retired and they moved to Farmington, Missouri.

Sue became an active member in the community of Des Arc, MO after moving there in 2010. She was a friend to all she met, and was a member of First Assembly of God Church in Des Arc, Missouri. Family and friends were Sue’s passion and delight, embroidering was her hobby, and God was her hope.
As a little girl Sue played/picked cotton in the fields of Success, Arkansas. She was the youngest of nine children and maintained many memories of a loving family.

She also leaves behind too many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends to list or even count.
Known for her ease in frequent conversation with even total strangers, a contagious smile and an entertaining sense of humor, Sue was well loved. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of many. Her signature gift of joy, shown through her constant smiling, and laughter will never be forgotten.
