Born on November 19, 1946, in Geneva County, Cheryl Sue was the beloved daughter of the late Allen Burl and Eloise Smith Brunson. A proud graduate of Geneva County High School, she dedicated her career to the Geneva County School System, serving both in the cafeteria and as a bus driver until her well-earned retirement. A woman of unwavering faith, she was a member of Union Hill Free Will Baptist Church, where she delighted in sharing her passion for singing and praising the Lord. The family finds solace in knowing that Cheryl Sue has joined the heavenly choir.

Preceding her in death was her devoted husband of 51 years, Henry Fondren Cox.
