She devoted her life to her family and was an extraordinary wife, mother and grandmother. She and Max were also the owners of Kindred Apartments in Paragon, Indiana, for many years. Aside from her family, which was her pride and joy, Sue also loved to go to yard sales, flea markets, camping, and ginseng and mushroom hunting. She loved the Lord and was a member of the Martinsville Church of God. Her memory will be celebrated and cherished by her family and friends including her four daughters, Paula Kindred and Susan (husband, Tim) Barnett both of Martinsville, IN; Vicky (husband, Mike) Arnold of Mooresville, IN, and Rhonda (husband, Kent) Collins of Poland, IN; two sons, Randy and Jesse Kindred both of Martinsville; twenty-nine grandchildren; sixty-nine great grandchildren; and one great great grandchild.
