GREENVILLE – Sue Fox Walters, 84, died Thursday, January 15, 2026 at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital. Born in Louisville, June 9th, 1941, she was the daughter of the late Thomas Burke and Reva Nell Crick Fox. She was a graduate of Greenville High School and followed a career in Business, Accounting and Administration. She worked many years alongside her husband in the Cable Television industry in various areas of the country making homes in different nine states – Savannah, Georgia; Raleigh NC; Birmingham Alabama; Gaithersburg, Maryland; Waterloo, Iowa; Seattle, WA; Sitka, Alaska; Paris, TX and in Greenville. On their first time together (a trip to Caneyville to secure a tower site lease) he said to her he would marry her someday and that he did. She retired from Sumitomo Electric Wiring Systems (automotive industry) in Bowling Green as Senior Accounting Specialist after fifteen years of work in accounting, auditing and payroll. She worked with legal firms, accounting firms and most recently with the KY Department of Transportation. She never frowned at a daily commute of 100 miles. She and her husband were the developers of Fox Run Residential Community.
Sue was Protestant in faith and a member of First Baptist Church; she worked with different organizations in the Church and was a Sunday School teacher in the past. She was past president of the Junior Woman’s Club of Greenville, the Woman’s Club of Greenville with a membership of 177 members and Vice-Governor elect of 2nd District of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs prior to leaving Greenville to live in Birmingham. She was honored to be listed in Marquis Who’s Who in the South and Southwest and Finance and Industry among other of its publications; in 2018, she was awarded the Albert Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award; she was proud to be honored as a Kentucky Colonel. Her varied interests included — solo flights in a single engine aircraft, she enjoyed journaling, gardening, antiques and design, her historical home and was passionate about helping animals — never to turn an animal away hungry, she felt they too are God’s creatures.
There were many stories she shared — as a youngster she was a tag-along with her father. She enjoyed riding his coal trucks with him, their late afternoon trips to the farm at Weir after supper and recalled the day she stood beside him when he purchased at Auction the farm that is now Foxboro, its additions and Fox Run.
She had a strong faith and would say “I have lived a wonderful life. There were some struggles along the way but God had a plan.”
She enjoyed her family — they were her pride and joy. She was preceded in death by her husband of 36 years, Hugh Alexander (Lex) Walters. She is survived by a son, Thomas Wade Walters (Joy) and daughter, Alexandra (Stuart) Ebling; three grandsons, Ezekiel Wade (Zeke) Walters (Ariele), Stuart Ford Ebling and Alexander Cade Ebling; ***three great grandsons, Shepherd Ezekiel Walters, William Tate Walters, and Eldridge Blaine Walters; she was preceded in death by a sister, Faye Lile.
