Sue was a homemaker and devoted to her nine children. In later years, she enjoyed world traveling and was as much at home floating on a gondola in the canals of Venice, Italy, as playing cards in the living room of her house on Sixth Street with the ladies of her card club.

She is survived by seven children, Stephen Louis (Pamela) Mains, of Ironton; Lawrence Joseph Mains, of Worthington, Ky.; Timothy Mark (Rae Ann) Mains, of Ironton; Daniel Ralph Mains Jr. of Ironton; Anita Sue (Nathan) Lewis, of South Point; Mary Kathryne Mains (David) Lenox, of Orlando, Fla.; John Patrick Mains, of Chesapeake; and her 16 grandchildren, Casey Henry, Martha Blalock, Drew Mains, Beth Ramey, Carrie Rowe, Leslie Byerley, Peyton Mains, Jade Mains, Amy Harrison, Catherine Saunders, Mark Mains, Andy Mains, Nikki Lewis, Nekka Kazee, Noel Payne and Reece Lenox; along with 21 great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, one of Sue’s passions was donating to the children of poverty in West Virginia. “Able Families of West Virginia.” Website: http://ablefamilies.org. Telephone: 304-393-4987.

In keeping with her wishes of a private service, if friends would like to pay their respects to the family, they can do so between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. Friday at 314 S. Sixth St., Ironton.
