Nita Sue Hambrick was born on November 7, 1937, in Waurika, OK
to J.D. and Bonnie (Turner) Hanna. She passed away on Monday,
September 9, 2024, at an Ardmore, OK nursing facility at the age
of 86.
Sue attended Ringling Elementary School from kindergarten
through third grade, Claypool School from fourth through eighth
grade, and then graduated from Marietta High School in 1955. She
received her bachelor's degree in education from Oklahoma A&M in
1959 and later received her master's degree in education from
Southeastern Oklahoma State University. She eventually retired
from her role as an educator after many years working for our
local schools. Sue then became an active member of the Love
County Retired Teachers Association. In her spare time, she
would work side by side with her loving husband in the horse
industry.
Sue married Randall Joe Hambrick in Marietta on
February 14, 1959. He preceded her in death on February 28,
1999.
She loved gardening and being outside and took a lot of pride in
decorating her home for the holidays. What brought her the most
joy was running around with her best friend Helen Woody getting
into whatever mischief they could. She was an active member of
the Marietta Church of Christ.
She is preceded in death by her parents; husband; and a brother
and sister-in-law, J. Dan and Marie Hanna.
