Tommie Sue Everett Nash Dockery, 94, passed away peacefully at Hospice Ministries in Ridgeland, Mississippi, on February 27, 2020, surrounded by her loving and grateful family. Sue was born on May 21, 1925, in D'Lo, Mississippi, to Thomas Lafayette Everett and Sudie Edna Norman Everett. She attended high school in Columbia, Mississippi, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science from the Mississippi State College for Women in Columbus, Mississippi, in 1946.

In 1948, Sue married Binford Truett (B.T.) Nash on August 22, 1948 in Newton, Mississippi. They lived their life together in Perkinston, Wiggins, and then Oxford, Mississippi. Sue and B.T. lived on the Ole Miss campus where B.T. was Director of Men's Housing and Sue worked in the financial aid office.

After B.T. died in 1976, Sue relocated to Jackson as the Administrative Assistant to Dr. Edrie George Royals, Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of Mississippi Medical Center; who remains a dear family friend. Sue was an active member of Broadmoor Baptist Church, where she met David (Dave) T. Dockery, Jr. and remarried in October 1981. At Broadmoor she was active in missions and served on the pastor search committee. Sue later served as the first woman member of the Executive Committee of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board. In recent years, Sue joined Pocahontas Baptist Church, where she continued to teach Sunday School. Sue was also a member of PEO Sisterhood, Chapter F, Jackson, Mississippi, as well as Order of the Eastern Star, Miriam Chapter No. 67, Wiggins, Mississippi.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, her sisters, Nell McCoy and Nai Everett, her husbands, B.T Nash and David Dockery, and her step daughter-in-law Mary Dockery. She is survived by a host of family and friends including her siblings Juan Williams, John Everett (Lucille), and Ann Sumners (Bob); son Binford Truett Nash, Jr., wife Sandra, and children, Amy Parker (Ryan) and Benny (Windy); son Clifton Nash, wife Ellen, and children, Tyler (Jennifer) and Lee (Blakeley); daughter Trudy Smith, husband Chris, and children, Luke (Stephanie), Emily, and Sadie Gregory (Ben). She is also survived by stepchildren David T. Dockery, III, and Gwin Wyatt, husband Frank, and daughter, Brooke. Sue delighted in her nine great grandchildren and in many Everett and Nash nieces and nephews.

To all who knew her, Sue will be remembered as a woman with a love of Jesus Christ, a heart for everyone, a gracious hostess, a trusted friend and advisor, a loyal wife and mother, and the best Mam-ma God ever placed on this earth.
