Sue was born November 25, 1938 to M L and Elizabeth (Hootsie) Brooks of Sherwood, Texas. Born and raised on a farm, she loved nature and all outside happenings. She attended school at Mertzon where she was in all the sports she could be in. She loved basketball and volleyball, playing them well into her 60’s. Sue attended every ball game she could for her children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She married Roy Burleson in 1957 at Mertzon Baptist Church. They have two beautiful daughters, Karla and Sheri. Billie then married Pat Warren in 1972 and they acquired another beautiful daughter, Ashley, who was the apple of her daddy’s eye. Losing Pat in 2002, she then married Bill Crow. Sue lived in Big Spring, Texas for many years where she was Vice President of the Blue Blazers of the Chamber of Commerce there. She worked at Cosden Offices in Big Spring, where she was active in Desk and Derrick Club and served as their President. She started her own business, Warren Bookkeeping and Tax Service in Big Spring. Sue did Income Tax Returns for over forty years along with her bookkeeping. She and Pat also had Warren Insulation Business and Warren Windshield Repair while in Big Spring. She loved the combination of her jobs; if she felt like going outside, she would do so and if she wanted to stay inside, she would do the bookkeeping. Sue worked at the Odessa YMCA, Big Spring YMCA and finally fifteen years at the Midland YMCA. Sue was active in many activities of the YMCA and never met a person that she didn’t like and therefore was liked by many (hopefully).
