Barbara Sue Willnow
You are my Sunshine
Barbara “Sue” Willnow, age 79 of Jasper, passed away on Monday, December 18, 2023, in her home surrounded by family. She was born on May 27, 1944, in Adrian to the late Clarence and Lucille (Boss) Dulaney.
On January 11, 1963, Sue married the love of her life, James “Harlan” Willnow. They raised a family of four children and spent over 60 wonderful years together.
Sue was a member of Ogden Church as well as the Cottonwood Cloggers. She enjoyed flower gardening, feeding the hummingbirds in her yard, and was known for her love of Christmas. Sue deeply cared for others and would always visit people at the nursing homes. Most importantly, Sue loved spending time with her family.
Sue left a lasting impression on those she knew and loved, which was pretty much every person she encountered. Sue was known for her loving, kind, caring, generous heart, her ability to turn complete strangers into friends after only a few minutes of conversation. Sue was always there for everyone. She had a heart of pure gold.
To cherish her memory, Sue leaves her loving husband, Harlan; a son, Rocky (Penny) Willnow; three daughters: Annette (Michael) Francoeur, Michelle McNeil, and Deborah (Matthew) Hewitt; 15 grandchildren: Andrew, Jessica, Katrina, Nicholas, Chelsea, Dakota, Erin, David, Brianna, Jeremiah, Joseph, Noah, Makayla, Olivia, and Savannah; 15 great grandchildren; a sister, Beverly Green; and sister-in-law, Judy Sayers. In addition to her parents, Sue is preceded in death by a great grandson, Connor; and a brother, Larry Dulaney.
