She was a mother, a<br \/>\nfather, a grandmother, a great-grandmother, and recently, a proud great-great-grandmother. But most of all, she was everyone\u2019s person \u2014 the heart of her family and a friend to all who crossed her path.<\/p>\n<p>Funeral services will begin at 11:00 am on Thursday November 13, 2025, at the Toledo Christian Church. Visitation will be prior to the service from 9:00 am to 11:00 am Thursday at the church. The Burial will be in the Tippett Cemetery. The Barkley Funeral Chapel in Greenup is assisting the family.<\/p>\n<p>Sue N. Titus was born on September 29, 1942, in Jewett, IL to Llyod and Helen (HerrParse) Powell. She married Lowell Lynn Titus in 1959. Grandma Sue had a gift that can\u2019t be put into words \u2014 she saw people for who they were and loved them just the same. She was everyone\u2019s therapist, everyone\u2019s angel, and she had zero judgment. No matter who you were or what you\u2019d been through, she welcomed you with warmth, kindness, and understanding. A friend of yours was always a friend of hers. If you ever spent time with her, you carried her with you \u2014 literally. She had the most<br \/>\ndistinct, beautiful scent, and if someone hugged you after visiting her, everyone knew where you had been. Her love lingered that way too. Her kitchen was her love language. She was an incredible cook who went above and beyond to make sure there was always something everyone loved \u2014 and plenty of it. Every meal was an act of love, and every gathering at her home felt like a celebration.<br \/>\nShe made holidays magical, especially Christmas, where her home sparkled with decorations in every room. And on New Year\u2019s Day, she never missed her traditional feast \u2014 a table overflowing with good luck, laughter, and enough food to feed an army. Grandma Sue had a passion for decorating and celebrating every season. Her home was a reflection of her heart \u2014 warm, welcoming, and full of beauty. To know her was to love her, and to be loved by her was to be truly blessed. She leaves behind a legacy of love, acceptance, and selflessness that will live on through her family and all who knew her. Her spirit will forever fill our hearts and homes \u2014 in the smell of a home-cooked meal, the glow of Christmas lights, and the simple joy of gathering together.<\/p>\n<p>She is survived by her children: David (Ina) Titus, Julie (Mike) Gentry, Sheila (Aaron) McElravy, and Tina (Kent) Keppler and son-in-law Terry Rodebaugh; grandchildren: Andrew (Heather) Olmstead, Tabitha (Jed) Brummer, Whitney (Chris) Edwards, Tessa (Jake) Edwards, Amanda (Caleb) Middleton, Try (Samantha) Olmstead, Kelsey (Eric) Bierman, Josh (Brittany) Rodebaugh, Demi Titus, Peyton Keppler (Madison), Keaton Titus (Marley), Lilly (Mick) Ames; great grandchildren: Ivy, River, Crew, Ridge, Ani, Van, Bear, Marley, Nora, Braydon, Leah, Audrey, Brooklyn, Drake, Owen, Saylor, Cooper, Bella, Shelby, Brooke, Briar, Raelynn, Ryker, Kaycee, baby girl Titus, and Andersyn; and great- great grandchild Alex, who will all carry on her traditions and her unconditional love for others.<\/p>\n<p>She was preceded in death by her parents, husband Lowell Titus in 1979, son Richard \u201cRickey\u201d Lynn Titus in 1968, and brothers William Powell and James Powell.<\/p>\n<p>Though our hearts ache, we take comfort knowing that Heaven gained another angel \u2014 and that Grandma Sue\u2019s love still surrounds us \u2014 steady, strong, and eternal \u2014 just as it always has.<\/p>\n<p>In lieu of flowers memorials can be made to the SBL Hospice &#8212; 700 W. Lincoln Ave. Suite 100, Charleston, IL 61920.
