Sue F. (Jackson) Harper
February 7, 1932 - November 16, 2023

Sue F. (Jackson) Harper, born February 7, 1932, died November 16, 2023, in Edmond, OK. She grew up in Collinsville, OK, to parents Charlie and Opal Jackson with her nine brothers and sisters.

She married Robert Harper, June 1, 1959, in Enid, OK, and then moved to Silver City, New Mexico, where they adopted their only child, Holly, out of foster care in 1963.

Surviving are her brother, Jerry Jackson and wife Sandra of Oolagah, OK, and sisters, Joyce Lamberts and her husband Gary and Helen McMillon of Oolagah, OK; and her daughter, Holly and her husband Bryce Miller (whom Sue often referred to as "my favorite son-in-law") of Oklahoma City, OK.

Sue attended Northeastern University in Tahlequah, OK, and Southwestern University in Weatherford, OK, graduating with a degree in pharmacy in 1954.

Sue was predeceased by husband, Robert, her parents, and also 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Sue and Robert attended St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Enid. They were avid outdoorsmen, with Enid as their home-base, spending summers trout fishing in Crested Butte, Colorado, and their winters bass fishing on Roosevelt Lake, in Arizona, and Zapata Lake, in Texas/Mexico.

While Sue was a very competent, practical, and responsible person, she was also a "sparkly eyed hoot", with a great sense of humor. Her childlike spontaneity combined perfectly with her more serious pragmatic side to create a one-of-a-kind dynamo. She had the ability to stare reality right in the face, discern what she could change and what she couldn't change, and adapt with a sense of surrender and peaceful acceptance. She was much loved and will be forever missed.

Sue will be buried next to her husband and his parents at Memorial Park Cemetery in Enid, OK. The family will have a small private ceremony at a time and date to be determined.
