After living a long goodbye, Sue Moore Butler, 82, has died into the loving welcome of Christ Jesus and knowing the shalom of God.
Born Garland Sue Moore, the third child of Noble R. Moore and Georgia (Goodbar) Moore, Sue made Excelsior Springs, Missouri her life-long home. Sue was a member of the class of 1954 and attended university in Warrensburg, Missouri. She retired from a fulfilling career at AT&T where she found mentors, peers and friends for almost 40 years. Sue was extensively involved with her sorority Beta Sigma Phi and loved to join in a game of bridge. She was baptized and spent her life of faith in membership at Barbee Memorial Presbyterian Church.
