Obituary

Sue Brown
(September 7, 1948 - Ocyober 21, 2013)

Sue Brown, 65, of Huntington, made her journey across the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, October 21, 2013 to be with the Lord, and to be reunited with family members and pets that went before her. She was the founder and President of Little Victories Animal Shelter, and spent her final days in peace at the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House knowing that she was about to see her heart dog, Chloe, once again. During the course of her life, she was a school teacher for 15 years and an avid writer of poetry and fiction, even completing a historical romance novel titled Maggie, My Darling. The last ten years of her life were dedicated to the mission of rescuing and caring for animals in the Tri-State area, and in her mind, she could think of no higher calling than devoting herself to the service of animals. She was born September 7, 1948, in Cabell County, a daughter of the late Ira John Gue and Nellie Jane Nida Gue. She is also preceded in death by two sisters, Redith Mae "Dickie" Burgess and Deloris Wanda Pinkerman, and two brothers, Donald Dwight Gue and Carroll Buford Gue. She is survived by her loving husband Larry Brown; two sons, Thomas Garrett Lucas and Daniel Shawn Lucas and his wife Elizabeth Lucas; one stepson, Jeffrey Brown; two sisters, Lora Hall (Darrius) and Shirley Jordan; one brother, Edward Gue (Dottie); several nieces, nephews, friends and three loving dogs, Gracie, Sammy, Daisey and one cat Scooter. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Little Victories at P.O. Box 247, Barboursville, WV, 25504 Funeral services will be conducted at 1 p.m. Thursday, October 24, 2013 at Wallace Funeral Home & Chapel, Barboursville with Rev. David Cardwell officiating.
