June Elizabeth “Sue” Lacks, 82, of Hot Springs, Virginia passed away Monday, May 26, 2025, at the Roanoke Memorial Hospital, in Roanoke, Virginia.

Sue retired from the United States Forest Service with 31 years of service.

She was a member of Eden Church where she served on the Finance & Parsonage Committee, was the Membership Secretary, and was an active member of the Women’s Group.

She was an inspiration to those around her, not only by her Christian Walk, but by her example of Christ. She was a quiet person with a contagious smile. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who adored her family and never missed the opportunity to show you pictures of her “little ones”.

She is survived by a son, Robert Todd Lacks & wife Kim of Hot Springs;  grandchildren, Robert Whitney Lacks, Andrew Bonner Lacks & wife Nina, Samuel Tanner Lacks & wife Skylnn, Jillian DePoppe, Alyssa DePoppe, and Jackson DePoppe; great grandchildren, Magnolia Lee “Nola” Lacks, Clementine June “Lemi” Lacks, Olive Cole “Ozzie” Lacks, Madelyn Rose Lacks, Eleanor Grace Lacks; and a sister; Judy Galford & husband Wayne of Arbodale, West Virginia.

She was preceded in death by sisters, Vivian Bailey, Marie Hicks, and Juanita Sharp; brothers, Carroll C. Bonner, Richard “Dick” Adams, Walter “Buck” Adams, Sr., Gene Adams and Donald “Rusty” Adams.

A Celebration of Life will be held later this summer.
