She moved to Dripping Springs with her daughter Marci, where she was able to enjoy her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Sue worked for Texas Employment Commission in Austin and Brownwood.

Although Sue suffered a major stroke when she was just 36 years old, leaving her permanently disabled, she never lost her faith or her sense of humor, and spent many hours encouraging others.
Sue was preceded in death by her son, Mark, who was killed in an offshore oil rig accident in 1983 and her youngest daughter, Susan, in 1990, who died of cancer soon after the birth of her only child, Morgan. She was also preceded in death by her father, H.D. Howard.

Fowlkes, of Driftwood; five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her stepsister and husband, Kathy and Bob Rogers, and their family.
