Martha “Sue” Epperly, born November 9, 1949, in Floyd County, VA, ended her journey here on earth on April 28, 2026. She is now rejoicing with Jesus and loved ones who have gone before. Her late parents were Harley Maurice Epperly and Lillian Ilene Sutphin Epperly. She is also preceded in death by her only son, Chad Everett Epperly.
Surviving are a sister, Lillian Alice Phillips (Jackie); and a brother Maurice “Butch” G. Epperly (Glenda). She is also survived by three nephews, Jeff Phillips (Frances), Matthew Phillips, Justin John David Epperly; and niece, Sue Ellen Phillips Martin (Dewayne).

Sue worked several different places in her lifetime. To mention a few, Donnkenny Fabrics, Skyline Ford, Duncan Ford, Radford Auto Auction, and most recently, after retiring, she loved working at Dulaney’s Greenhouse. She had a great love for flowers and kept a meticulous yard of many beautiful favorites. Sue also loved all the stray cats that seemed to come her way and took care of them as if they were her own.
