Sue Davis McDuffie

Sue Davis McDuffie, 90, went home to be with the Lord Saturday, April 27th, 2024, surrounded by her family.

She was best known as Mama, Grannie or Aunt Boo to those who loved her most.

Sue was born on September 29th, 1933, in Moore County to the late Dalton Harrison Davis and Sallie Cockman Davis.

Sue graduated from Elise High School in 1951. She attended Watts Hospital School of Nursing and graduated from Hamlet School of Nursing in 1955. She served her profession and community for 41 years as a registered nurse working at what was then Moore Regional Hospital as a labor and delivery nurse and house supervisor. She also worked at several family practices and completed her career with the NC Department of Corrections as South Central Area Nursing Supervisor

After retirement, she joined her husband at McDuffie’s Appliance and Plumbing Parts for the next 25 years.

Throughout her life she was a devoted Christian and a lifelong member of Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church. She served on the Administrative Council, President of the United Methodist Women, Sunday School Superintendent and taught the Young Adult Sunday School class for many years. 

Sue was an active participant in her community. She was a charter member of the North Moore Lions Club, served on the Nursing Home Advisory Committee, and enjoyed volunteering at Foothills Outdoors Events. Sue’s big smile was well known to area runners as she manned water stations at many events. She was a force to be reckoned with as well as a joyful presence in every room.
