Sue McNeill Jetton, known lovingly as Sue, age 87, of Boaz, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at her residence on April 5, 2026.
She was born on January 14, 1939, in McCracken County, Kentucky, to the late Willard Farley McNeill and Mary Elizabeth Mott McNeill. Sue lived a life marked by devotion to her family, her faith, and the many simple joys that brought her happiness throughout the years. She was a loving, faith-filled, and thoughtful woman whose presence brought comfort and warmth to those around her.
Sue was a Christian and a faithful member of Trace Creek Baptist Church, where her steadfast faith was an important part of her life. She found great meaning in serving the Lord and in the fellowship of her church family. Her life reflected the values she held dear, and she was known for her kind spirit, gentle nature, and the care she showed to others.
She was the retired co-owner of the Tobacco Barn, where she worked faithfully and helped build a livelihood that reflected her dedication and strong work ethic. Sue took pride in her work and in the life she and her family created together. She also enjoyed sewing, bird watching, family gatherings, class reunions, and hosting loved ones in her home. These moments brought her great joy, and she treasured the time spent surrounded by family and friends.
Sue is survived by her two daughters, Pamela Sue Jetton Crouch and her husband, Roy, and Diana Lynn Jetton McGill and her husband, Scott, both of Boaz, Kentucky; one son, Casey Alan Jetton and his wife, Kara, of Versailles, Kentucky; three sisters, Carolyn Dalton of Paducah, Kentucky, Faye Kelly of Marshall County, Kentucky, and Donna Daniels of Boaz, Kentucky; eight grandchildren, Alexis Nicole Jetton, Emily Brooke Jetton, Joshua Kyle Jetton, Rebecca Lynn Jetton, Christen Ann Crouch, Matthew Alan Crouch, Zachary Ryan McGill, and Ian Nicholas McGill; eleven great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Gary Gene Jetton; her parents; and four brothers, Carl McNeill, Edward McNeill, Roger Dale McNeill, and Randall Lynn McNeill. Their memories remained close to her heart throughout her life.
