LIFE REFLECTIONS OF SUSAN LOU DAVIS LLOYD
Susan Lou Davis Lloyd, affectionately known as “Mildred” by her family and “Ms. Sue” by her friends in New Haven Ct., daughter of the late Henry and Albertha Davis, was born on May 9, 1948, in Saint Stephen, SC. Susan went home to depart this life to be with the Lord on November 30, 2022.
When Susan was a child, she gave her life to Jesus Christ at Bethel United Methodist Church in South Carolina. She moved to New Haven, CT, after graduating from Russellville High School in 1996, where she raised her daughter and help care for her granddaughters until her death.
Over the course of her 56 years living in New Haven, CT, Susan became a pillar of the community and never met a stranger. Many churches in Susan's community gave her opportunities to become a dedicated and active member. In her favorite stores or at the bus stop, people enjoyed talking and laughing with Ms. Sue because of her friendly demeanor and contagious smile.
As the 2nd child of nine, she was a true example of a loving big sister. Whenever Susan called her brothers and sisters, she would encourage them and end every call with "I love you.". Her great sense of humor, dancing, and inspiring words of God, as well as a soul-stirring song, would always be welcomed by the whole family at family events.
We will miss Susan's caring nature, loving friendships, sharing the word of God, enjoying good music, and the bright light she brought into any room she entered.
Susan was preceded in death by her parents, Henry and Albertha Davis, and her daughter Tammy Quanita Lloyd.
Susan leaves behind to cherish her memory, her daughter, Monique Albertha Lloyd; two Granddaughters, Danaya Leon and Alonna Reid from New Haven Ct; She will be greatly missed by her siblings; Lula Mae (Arthur) Rivers; Elizabeth Burgess, James Henry (Patricia) Davis, Marion Robert (Joyce) Davis, Thomas Marion Davis, Atty.
