Sue Kohnle (Hayes), 88, of Bethlehem, North Carolina passed away on December 30, 2024, from natural causes, surrounded by her loving family.
Sue was born on September 30, 1936, in North Carolina, the daughter of Maynard and Ruby Hayes. A self-proclaimed “old country girl,” her independent nature came honestly from her salt of the earth upbringing.
Over her life, Sue was most proud of her family. Her two sons and their families brought her much pride, and her love and loyalty for all her family and friends remained one of her defining traits. Everyone that knew Sue was strengthened by her fierce spirit and powerful encouragement.
Sue attended Mount Bethel Methodist Church regularly for decades and continued to find solace and joy through her strong faith. As a seamstress of 60 years, she made an impact professionally, training the new generations with her skills. An avid pet lover, she was proud to spoil her small puppies over the decades.
Remaining to cherish Sue’s memory are children, Glenn and Connie Kohnle, Lewis and Cathy Kohnle; grandchildren, Jason and Chastity Kohnle and Kisha and John McKee, with her seven great grandchildren, and three great-great grandchildren; and many in-laws within the Kohnle family.
A private ceremony will be held to celebrate her life.
The family would like to thank Valley Nursing Center and Carolina Caring for taking care of their mother.
Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Alexander Funeral and Cremation Service.
