Navlyn Sue Hanes

Navlyn Sue Hanes, age 77, of Miamisburg, Ohio passed away on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 surrounded by her family. She was born on November 3, 1946 in Dayton, Ohio to the late Edison and Navlyn Drinkut.

Along with her parents, Sue was preceded in death by her loving husband of 53 years, Jerry Hanes; and son, Jason Hanes.

Sue is survived by her daughters, Cynthia Jones and Eryn Hanes (David Judge); grandchildren, Brystal Jones, Brody Jones (Marayna Hayworth), Jared (Peyton) Hanes, Caden Hanes, Ella Hanes (Michael Heeter), Austin Ward (Michaela DiPrete), and Archer Judge; two great-granddaughters, Alexandria Ward and Paisley Jones; and dear friend, Gary Bales.

Sue’s life was a tapestry woven with threads of generosity, adventure and familial love. Her essence will linger in the hearts of all who had the privilege to know her, carving an enduring imprint that will not fade with time. Sue was a lover of the arts and music. She was an avid attendee of concerts, musicals, and the theater. Sue was an Ohio State and Little League World Series fan. She was the leader of Girl Scout troop 843 for many years and was the scorekeeper for all softball teams that Jerry coached. She was a dance mom, a guard mom and the seamstress for both. Though she has departed from this earthly realm, the light she brought to the lives of others will continue to shine brightly in cherished memories and stories shared.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to all of the caregivers Sue had for all of their love and care during this difficult time. The family will honor her passing privately. Please consider a donation to Foundation Fighting Blindness (www.fightingblindness.org) or to a nonprofit of your choice in Sue’s memory.
