Sue was born on May 27, 1931, in Pawhuska, Oklahoma to Raymond Edward Bivins and Hattie Lee (Plummer) Bivins. She was the oldest of seven children, six lovely girls and then they were blessed with a baby brother, Ed. Sue graduated from Pawhuska High School Class of 1949 and graduated from Oklahoma Baptist University in 1953. She married her high school sweetheart Milton Vann Labadie on August 28, 1953.
Sue and Milton lived in Stillwater for a year while Milton finished his degree at Oklahoma A&M College (OSU) before moving to Germany where Milton, a 1st Lieutenant in the United States Army, was stationed. While in Germany their son Milton Vann Labadie Jr. was born. They returned to Pawhuska in 1956 where they had another son Kenton Dewitt and daughter Cherri Rae. Sue went to work for the Department of Human services in 1964 where she worked 29 years retiring as Osage County director in 1993.
In retirement she enjoyed spending time with her family, trips with her sisters and their special sister Christmas party.
