Our lives have been richer for having known Sue Belle. She was a unique, loving, and special woman. She made the best soup and peach cobbler known to man. Do you remember the Biscuit House? The entire Parris family sends our love to her family; Snuffy, Rita, and John. Sue Belle is remembered and loved by all the Parris family.
Our sincere sympathy to Sue Belle’s family.
Sue Belle hired me to work at the Biscuit House in the summer of 1975. I had never been a waitress but she took a chance on me and I worked for her between college semesters for two years. I loved her no nonsense way of dealing with people and had a great deal of respect for her. I send my prayers and condolences to her family.
