Susie E. Vinson

Sue served as the President of the Missionary Board up until her health started to decline. Even then, "Missionary Sue" continued to serve her church and pastor.

She was also affectionately known as one of the "Cornbread Fletcher's" Sue loved fashion and looking her very best. If you were in her presence, she often spoke her mind. She loved caring for others and there was nothing she wouldn't do for anyone.

She would frequently say "SAY WHAT YOU MEAN, MEAN WHAT YOU SAY, DON'T JUST SAY YOU LOVE ME BUT SHOW ME YOU LOVE ME".

After a lengthy illness, God called her home on May 29th, 2019. "She fought a good fight and she'd finished her course" Gaining her wings, she leaves to cherish: two sons, Rev. Ronald Gladney Sr. and Bennie Vinson, two daughter-in-law's; one brother, Willie Gladney; two sisters, Cora Lee Martin and Hattie Gross; seven grand-children, one special friend, Jadene Stone and a host of great-grands, great-great-grands, church family, relatives and friends.
