Jeanerette, LA Saturday, September 16, 2023 I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Mrs. Sug. Growing up in bowling, she had the style and delivery that I so wanted to emulate. She was always a tough competitor and a supportive team mate. I was fortunate to bowl many leagues and state tournaments against and with Mrs. Sug. Her smile was infectious and one not easily forgotten.Prayers for the family.
