Sue G. Cornett was born on August 18, 1932, and was the daughter of the late Bethel and Agnes Greenway.
Sue passed away on January 20, 2025, at Fite Living Center where she was a resident. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her husband, Everett "Fuzz" Cornett; sons-in-law, Ellis Vaughn, and Jerry Arp; sister and brother-in-law, Marie and George Dunaway; and sister-in-law, Pat Greenway.
Sue and Fuzz were married on December 16, 1951, and lived most of their lives in the Atco community where they attended church at Atco Baptist Church. In 1966 they moved to Highland Lane where they lived until they passed. Sue was a loving mother, grandmother, and wife. She loved cooking meals for her family and friends. Sue's favorite hobby was going shopping, especially at Belk. Every fall she planned trips for the entire family in Pigeon Forge and we all have a lot of good memories of those trips.
