Sue Davis Johnson, born on September 29, 1933, peacefully departed from this life on May 16, 2025, at her residence. She was a beloved member of her community, known for her warmth and dedication to her work as a waitress for over 30 years, notably at the Bethlehem Restaurant.

Sue also leaves behind her son, Kevin Johnson, and his wife Robin, and her cherished grandchildren, Lainey Parker (Jackson) of Lynchburg, VA, and Samuel Johnson.
