Sue Pepper Smith was born on October 18, 1956, in Vicksburg, MS, to Charles C. and Rosemary Andrews Pepper. She died on December 11, 2020. She is preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Pamela Pepper Jones. Sue is survived by her husband of 44 1/2 years, March Edward Smith Jr; her son Charles Edward Smith, wife Stefanie, and grandchildren Anslee March, Harper Lynn and March Edward III, of Nashville, TN; her son Bradley March Smith, wife Sarah, and grandchildren Sydney Charleston and Wriggly Brixon of Ranburn, AL; her son Jeremy Andrew Smith, wife Dana, and grandchildren Sweden Paisley and Elin Charbonnet of Nashville, TN; her beloved sister, Linda Pepper Foster and family; her sisters in law Odette Smith and Lynda Smith McDuff, husband Mark; and many nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly. Sue loved her family. She loved having them in her home. She was the perfect "boy mom" - able to handle all the chaos and craziness that comes with raising rough and tumble boys! Though her health challenges robbed so much of her time, she persevered in order to create memories with the boys and their families. She absolutely adored her grandchildren. Spending time with them filled her heart with joy. She treasured actual visits and virtual visits. She would spend hours watching the grand girls play on FaceTime. Sue was a fabulous hostess. Delicious food, crisp linens and a warm hug always awaited house guests. She made her guests feel like they were the most special people in all of the world. Sue graduated from Ouachita Parish High School in Monroe, LA, and Northwestern University School of Nursing in Natchitoches, LA. She loved being a nurse. It was more than a job; it was a calling. She worked tirelessly caring for her patients' physical needs. She also attended to their spiritual needs whenever she had the opportunity. She would often pray with her patients and share her faith and hope with them. God richly blessed her with the gifts of love and compassion for people. Her family will desperately miss her love and the sound of her contagious laughter. Though we grieve, we do not grieve as those who have no hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14). We know with certainty that Sue understood her need for a Savior, and we take great comfort in knowing He promises to never leave us or forsake us. Sue modeled what it was like to love her neighbor as herself. We are forever grateful for the gift of her love.
