Bio

Sovona Mae "Sue" (Gossett) Martin Barbary born in Palestine, TX, June 29, 1921 to John Robert Gossett & Amanda May Fletcher. She had eight siblings and was predeceased by all but two sisters. Sue was pre deceased by her husband of 30 years, C.B. Barbary in 1975. Sue served in the United States Women's Army Corp during WWII being stationed in Fort Des Moines, Iowa and San Antonio, Texas. After completing her two year military duty, she attended military cook's & baker's training where she received a diploma. She also completed a beautician's course and received her degree in cosmetology. The training she received at the cook's school made her one of the best cooks, ever. She was very often found either in her large garden or in her kitchen, canning all varieties of vegetables and fruits. Most of which she gave away to family and friends. She loved animals, dancing, talking on the telephone, fishing, practical jokes and everyone she met. Stubborn and proud of her Texas roots, she didn't have any problems letting you know how she felt. She hated hospitals, medicine, pills and doctor's appointments. She was terrible at driving and balancing the checkbook, but the cooking made up for any shortcomings in those areas. Sue lived in her house, doing things her way, and cooking until May of 2013. She was a wonderful, unique, special person that will be greatly missed and will never be replaced or forgotten by those who knew and loved her.
