Mrs. Sue P. Thomas, 88, of Lillington passed away Saturday, November 30, 2019 at her home. She was born in Harnett County, the daughter of the late Arthur Pipkin and Elsie Womble Pipkin. Sue was a graduate of Lillington High School where she was Valedictorian of the class of 1949. She was led to the Lord at a young age at Lillington Baptist Church where she played the piano for the church and the Little River Baptist Association. Sue also helped found the youth group, taught Sunday school and played the piano at Cedar Rock Presbyterian Church. She later joined Fellowship Baptist Church where she enjoyed playing the piano and supporting many ministries within the church. Sue passed her love of music to her children and grandchildren and was instrumental in building The Taylors’ gospel ministry.
