Carolyn “Sue” Cooley, age 74, of Russellville,
passed away July 18, 2023.
Sue was a Christian and of the Baptist Faith. Retired from Reynolds Aluminum after 30 plus years of loyal service, Sue enjoyed her time spent with family and friends. Celebrating Christmas was her favorite time of year. She was a great cook and loved quilting, wood burning and ceramics. As her children were growing up they always had pets which included dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, fish and the occasional creepy critters. Never, did a stray pet come along that Sue didn’t feed and bring them into the family. Along the way, she shared her life and her love with her dear Hudson Family.
She is survived by her husband, Roy Evans Cooley; children, Ian Walker (Michelle), Skylar Cooley, Danielle Miller (Chris), Christy Plemons (Cynthia); grandchildren, Payden Zelenka, Nicholas Miller, Mikayla Plemons, Mary-Elizabeth Miller, Jacob Walker, Mary Kate Walker; great grandchildren, Madilynn, Sawyer, Charlotte, Paisley, River; brother, Randy Lyons (Teresa) as well as a host of loving Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, Cousins and dear Friends that will miss her beautiful smile and energetic personality.
Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Thurson and Hazel Simmons.
