Mrs. Daniel passed away December 10, 2019 in Sunnyvale. The youngest of twelve children, she was born August 29, 1925 in Canton to Charles Wesley and Amanda Mae Norman Ashworth. Her father was the mayor of Canton when she was born.

Mrs. Daniel graduated Canton High School in May 1942. She worked in the Van Zandt County Clerks office for Leon Cox from January 1943 until February 1944. On January 29, 1944 Sue married Henry Paul Daniel who was in the service. Two weeks after they married, Paul was sent overseas for two years and Sue went to work for Van Zandt County Abstract Co. where she worked until March 1946. After Paul returned home, they moved to Dallas for a short time and then back to Canton where Sue worked in the County Clerk's Office, this time for Billy Deen. She worked in the Clerk's office until 1950 when she quit to start their family. Their daughter, Paula, was born September 28, 1951 and their son, Bill, was born October 18, 1955. Due to Paul's job, they moved around before again returning to Canton. Sue then went to work for the Van Zandt County Tax Office for Joan Guess for several months. Then in the early part of 1957, Sue went to work for Elliott and Waldron Abstract Company of Canton. She became the manager of the plant in August 1965 when Ivan Alexander purchased Elliott and Waldron. Sue retired after 30 years of service on August 31, 1987.
