Nora “Sue” Shaffield, of Sparta, TN passed away on February 29, 2020 at home after a battle with cancer. She was a woman of great faith in Christ who shared His love with everyone she met. She loved her family deeply. Sue was an exceptional wife, mother, and grandmother. She was a positive influence and encouragement for her family and countless others.

Sue’s faith was evident in her love for people. She had a servant’s heart. She treated friends as family, comforted and encouraged others with scriptures and kind words. She shared her joy, her laugh, and her home with all who needed it. Her van was always the bus for her children’s sports teams and was full of grandchildren as the family grew. Her kitchen was always busy making brownies, chocolate pies, tea punch, and fudge for holidays, church functions, and gifts.

Juliet, TN, son Jacob Shaffield and wife Danielle of Sparta, TN; grandchildren Aaron, Madeline, Caroline, Hannah, Jack, Jonah, Leah, Emma, and Lydia; and great-grandchildren Emmett and Charlotte.
