Susan (Sue) Caroline Bunner Hess Davis was born on October 10, 1929, in Akron, Ohio. She  passed away on December 16, 2023, at the age of 94. She grew up in West Virginia. Sue graduated from East Fairmont High School in Fairmont, West Virginia. She was living in Fairmont when she married  James Davis (Jim) on July 22, 1962, and moved to Hampton, Virginia. Jim passed away in 2011 just  months before their upcoming 50th wedding anniversary.

She is survived by her son Andy and her daughter-in-law Page Hess, her grandson Justice and his wife Bonni Hess, and her great grandson Conor Hess. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Judy Hohman of Fairmont, West Virginia.

Sue was a great mother to her son. She raised him with the help of her parents, Lawrence and Georgia Hohman until she married Jim and moved to Virginia. She supported herself and son by working at the Westinghouse Corporation in Fairmont, working on the 2nd shift. After moving to Virginia, she became a home maker. Sue was a full-time mother to her son. She became active in the Boy Scout program when Andy joined the Scouts. She made certain that she and Jim got Andy to the Scouting functions. While raising a family, Sue became a member of Parkview Baptist Church in 1972. She was a Sunday School teacher in the Children's department for over 30 years. When she retired from teaching Sunday School she was still active in the Women's Missionary Union. She was also on the Homebound Ministry which she chaired right up until covid-19 started.
