Celebrating 90 Beautiful Years

Celebrating 90 Beautiful Years

Sue Pruitt Bailey, age 90, of Cumming, Georgia, passed away on November 11, 2026. In her earlier years, Sue lived in Gainesville, Georgia and after marrying, she moved to Cornelia, Ga. She went on to spend many years in Peachtree Corners, Georgia. In May of 2023, she made her home at The Oaks of Hampton in Cumming.

Sue was a devoted Christian whose faith was the foundation of her life. She was a longtime member of Winters Chapel United Methodist Church and, after moving to Cumming, she became a member of Bethelview United Methodist Church.

Sue attended Gainesville High School, Mercer University, and shortly after, married Joe Bailey. Together, they shared 56 years of marriage and built a life filled with family, friendships, and treasured memories.

Sue had a successful career as a convention and meeting planner with the International Association of Financial Planners.

She lived life to the fullest. She was outgoing, warm, and wonderfully social, with a gift for making people feel welcome. She loved entertaining, was an exceptional cook, played bridge, took great pride in her yard, and took great joy in bringing people together around her table. Her home and her heart were always open to family and friends. Above all, Sue cherished the time she spent with her family, who were the greatest blessing of her life.

She leaves behind her two beloved daughters, Susan Davis (Jason) and Paige Watson (Mark); her grandchildren, Abby Sexton (Cameron), Joey Turkia (Stephanie); and her precious great-granddaughter, Savannah Sexton, who will carry on her legacy of love for generations to come.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe Bailey; her parents, Walker and Beatrice Pruitt; her brother, Robert Pruitt; and her son-in-law, Jason Davis.

Sue's 90 years were filled with faith, love, laughter, friendship, and countless memories. She will be remembered for her generous spirit, her welcoming personality, her love of entertaining, being impeccably stylish, and the joy she brought to those fortunate enough to know her.

Though she will be deeply missed, her family finds comfort in knowing that her faith has carried her home and that the love she shared will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

Our family would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to everyone at The Oaks at Hampton in Cumming, Georgia, for the love, kindness, and compassionate care they showed our mom during her time there.

As we say goodbye to our precious mom, we find comfort in knowing she was surrounded by people who cared. Their kindness will never be forgotten, and we will always be grateful for the role they played in her life.
