Born on April 2, 1952, to the late, William and Louise Whitley, she was the cherished third sibling of six. Sue was a wonderful wife, mom, Gigi, sister, aunt, and friend who was always there when needed. She had many friends and was a well-loved member of the community in Isle of Wight County.

She is survived by her loving husband of over 50 years, Robert “Bob” Goerger; daughter, Melanie Taylor (Bryan); son, Kevin Goerger (Catharine); loving grandson, Sammy Goerger; sisters, Shirley Barncord (Gary) and Darlene Whitley; brother, Bill Whitley (Robin); aunt and uncle Jean and Floyd Oliver; and countless cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Sue was a 1971 graduate of Windsor High School and a member of Smithfield Baptist Church. She proudly spent many years as a stay-at-home mom to Melanie and Kevin, and then worked at G.F. Walls Insurance Agency for 18 years.

In 2002, Sue gave the “gift of life” to her husband Bob as his living kidney donor. Sue was well known to her family and friends as always being happy and filled with the Christmas spirit, which she was excited to celebrate each year. Her greatest joy in recent years was spent playing with her grandson, Sammy. She truly loved being his Gigi.
