Raymond

Carolyn Sue Evans, lovingly known as "Sue," was born on April 27, 1937, in Wisner, Louisiana to John Thomas Keen and Linah Lee Newsome Keen. She peacefully passed away into the arms of Jesus on September 8, 2024, at St. Dominics Hospital in Jackson, Mississippi, surrounded by the love of her family.

A dedicated educator, Sue obtained her master's degree in education and made a career of teaching in the Hinds County School System, where she inspired countless students with her passion for learning. Her love for education extended beyond the classroom as she cherished reading to children, nurturing their imaginations and a lifelong love for learning.

In addition to her commitment to education, Sue had a variety of interests that reflected her creative spirit. She found great joy in working with ceramics and cake decorating, honing her skills and bringing smiles to those around her. She also loved the challenge of playing wordscapes, a testament to her sharp mind and fondness for language. She loved playing the piano. Sue was particularly known for her delicious pecan pies, a proud accomplishment of hers that showcased her culinary talents.

She is survived by her three sons, Michael Evans and his wife Lisa, Steve Evans and his wife Deanna, and Carl Evans and his wife Rebecca. A grandmother to six cherished grandchildren, Sue's legacy of love and nurturing will continue to resonate through them.

Sue was preceded in death by her husband, Melvin Leroy Evans, as well as her parents, John and Linah Keen. 

As we remember Carolyn Sue Evans, we celebrate a life dedicated to education, creativity, and family. She enriched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.
