Sue Thorson, 78, passed away surrounded by loved ones on September 19, 2024, after a declining illness. She was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon and Zorabel Altman; brothers, Norman and Richard Altman; and sister, Yvonne Altman Willis.

She is survived by her husband of 60 years, Ron Thorson; daughter, Tammy McDowell (Dennis); daughter, Kim Clark (Richard); grandchildren, Shawna McDowell, Taylor McDowell, Alex Clark Buchanan (Devin); numerous nieces and nephews, and her cat, Tex.

She was born on December 14, 1945, to Vernon and Zorabel Giddens Altman in Baxley, GA. She moved to Bradenton, FL at an early age where she later met and married Ron Thorson in Sarasota, FL and started a family before moving to Franklin, NC in 1976.

Sue enjoyed being outside in the sun, entertaining family and friends, baking, reading, and watching wildlife. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends.

The family would like to thank Four Seasons Hospice Care and Macon Funeral Home for their great help and kindness in our loss.

The immediate family will have a private service after her cremation.
