We are here to honor our extraordinary mother, grandmother (Grannie), great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She must have touched you all in some way because you are here, even if it's to support a loved one.
Sue Ann was born August 25, 1946 to Joseph and Gladys Porter (preceded her in death). She had a total of 12 siblings, 13 children altogether. She was the second daughter of only two girls.
Here in Las Vegas, she attended Western High School, where she enjoyed and excelled on the girls basketball team.
Sue Ann began her work history in child care, at Holy Family Day Care Center. In this position she assisted with the daily care and teaching of preschoolers. She also served in the capacity of cafeteria assistant. She then began her employment with Flamingo Hilton, where she worked for 45 plus years until her retirement as a Status Board Operator.
She Ann was an active and faithful member with the Church of the Lord Jesus for over 50 years. She would serve as an usher and would make herself available where needed. She was well loved.
Sue Ann leaves to cherish her memory 3 daughters, Marie Judie (Leo), Juanita Leeks, Ursel Jefferson (Otis) and her only son Clement Bell (Rene). Her daughter Gayla Bell preceded her in death in infancy. She also leaves to carry on her legacy, 8 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
She will be sorely missed by her surviving siblings; her sister Marie Payne and two brothers, Herman Porter and William Porter. A community of family and friends will also miss her dearly.
