Sue died on her birthday, October 17th, at NHC, Dickson.
Sue was a graduate of the former Charlotte High School. She was married to Charles Glen Wills, who preceded her in death in 1994. A hard worker all her life, Sue, in addition to being a wife and mother, enjoyed the independence and extra income of working in the public. She had worked for the former Schrader Automotive Corp. and for Tennessee Quality Foods. And many will remember her for, perhaps, her most passionate calling: that of being an in-home caregiver for many patients in Dickson and Dickson County. Sue lovingly cared for those patients and became an “honorary family member” to many of them! Sue was a member of Taylor Town Church of Christ. She was a 50+ year member of Dickson Chapter #291, OES, and served in it as an officer for as long as she was able. She was predeceased by her mother, Dona Pearl Petty.
Survivors include her son Glenn Wills (Melanie) of Dickson; her daughters, Kimberley Hogin (Kevin) of Burns, and Donna Wireman of Dickson; grandchildren, Jonathan Wireman, Jacob Wireman, Allie Wills, and Dylan Wills; great-granddaughter, Kenlyn Jo Wireman.
