Susan Drew Obituary

There have been so many times that I have wanted to find out some information and in my mind I said "let me call Sue" and came to an heart flutter knowing I could not call and find out my answer. She and Gene were introduced to me on a cold rainy night and I was welcomed into their home for so many years afterward. She was a dear dear woman, full of fun.

She was the love of my life.

I just today learned of Sue's passing. Wondering why I did not contact her a couple of years ago - just put it off - like any good procrastinator. I am sad. Sue was a person I greatly admired for her caring for others, her grand dinners and for informal grand affairs, for the many times we spent at the Spoleto Festivals and dinners in town - ... Gene of course led to the concerts kicking and screaming because he had to go into town - but loving every minute of the folks who were surrounding him - and the culinary arts of the finest Chefs of Charleston. I have a heavy heart but beautiful memories - yet also a lot of reprimand of myself that I lost touch until today. Rest in peace my dear Susan

I just recently learned of Sue's passing and I feel an emptiness in the world. Of anyone I have ever known Sue lived life on her terms.I worked for Sue at the Scarlet O'Hara in the late 1970s. I always admired Sue for her kindness, fairness and intellect. Also for her culinary skills (the girl could cook). I have wonderful memories of Sue and Gene at Driftwood.

We spent many wonderful hours enjoying wine with Sue. She will be dearly missed. Desmond & Betsy Garrity

We are recalling family memories and visits with Sue and Gene over the years and wishing there had been more. We will miss Sue greatly and are saddened to learn of her passing.

When sue sue left she took a huge piece of my heart with her. I will remember her daily as I do grandpa gene gene! I feel her presence daily and think of her often. She was truly a magnificent woman! I am forever grateful for everything and humbled I could be with you through the end.

Mrs.Drew you r going to be missed. I just wanted to thank you and keith for giving luther a great job he loves it and yal on the farm.

Sue Drew was a treasure. Although I go way back to the 70's with memories of Molly Mops and the Brittney Spaniels,I am delighted we could of late pick up our relationships through letter and photos.I was a young bride and you were so instrumental in trying to help me understand the Drew men.Gene was a prince and so special,and yours was a true love story. God speed,Sandra

We heard many great stories from Keith Jones about this wonderful woman, Sue Drew..we always wanted to meet Ms. Sue and am so sad I never got the chance.

Ms. Sue, I want to thank you for all that you have done, creating such a wonderful magical place that brings so much peace to to me.

We loved hearing the stories about you. You are an amazing, courageous woman who had the drive to accomplish ANYTHING your heart desired. Full of life...You have such a love for animals, especially your beloved Belties.... a love for Nature and life itself. You could see the beauty in so many things..and you appreciated it. Our type of person!

You had a zest for life, living it to its fullest...nothing would get you down. You've done it all!

You created a legacy that most only dream about....

To your family and to Keith Jones, We are so sorry for your loss...you all are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Ms. Sue, you are in Heaven now with her husband, watching the Belties that are there..your spirit will always be at Driftwood...your spirit is in the truck beside your husband driving around your beautiful land.

When a loved one becomes a memory that memory becomes a treasure. We are recalling family memories and visits with Sue and Gene over the years and wishing there had been more. We will miss Sue greatly and are saddened to learn of her passing.

Our sons still remember Sue taking them to Walmart to get supplies and the fun they had when they attended the Beltie camp. Sue had a way to fit in with every one, old or young. She was a tremendous supporter of the breed, the youth, and a friend to all. She will be missed but not forgotten.

Always in our hearts and our thoughts, we will miss you!

Shannon, I know you will miss Sue. What a character she was! My thoughts are with you. Gin

Sue was a tremendous supporter of the Belted Galloway breed and consigned cattle to ever sale that I had the pleasure of calling over the years! She was a true advocate for the betterment of the breed and its members always spending more time promoting other consignments and supporting its youth, rather than marketing her own lots! She carried the eye and grit of a true competitor, and the heart and passion to motivate us all to bigger and better things!

Miss Sue was one of a kind. A great friend to so many with empathy, respect and compassion for all. There will never be another Sue Drew in our Belted Galloway world and my family and I are so lucky to have known her. May she rest in peace.

Sue was always kind to my Mom & I. She will be missed.
