LOIS IDA SUGG's Obituary
SUGG, Lois Ida Sherman, 95. Mrs. Lois Sugg, widow of Maj. John F. Sugg (USAF) passed on peacefully on May 22, 2014, at Baptist Hospital of Miami. Mrs. Sugg spent 54 years as a volunteer at the Cutler Ridge Baptist Church’s Christian Academy, nurturing many hundreds of children by tirelessly doing just about every job from running the church’s nursery, to reading to kindergartners, to supervising school buses, to making her trademark peanut and jelly sandwiches. Mrs. Sugg continued working full days until her death – she was at her desk at the school when she suffered a stroke on May 19. Mrs. Sugg was betrothed to Mr. William Snyder, 87, of Miami, and they had planned to marry this summer. Mrs. Sugg was born in Key West, and lived across the world, from the Philippines to England, and many U.S. states, as a daughter of a military family and then wife of Maj. Sugg. In 1960, the family moved to Cutler Ridge, where Mrs. Sugg was one of the founding members of Cutler Ridge Baptist Church. Mrs. Sugg was preceded in death by her husband, Maj. Sugg; by her first husband, Marshall R. Pierce, who died in World War II; her parents, Sgt. George and Lillian Sherman; and grandson Andy Sugg. She is survived by fiancé Mr. Snyder of Miami; sons James R. Pierce of Evinston, FL, and John F. Sugg III of Blue Ridge, GA; by daughter Judith G. Sugg of Portland OR; and by grandchildren Marshall R. Pierce, Valerie Harper, Robert Jacobs-Sugg, Robin Sugg, Adam Sugg and Amy Sugg.
