photograph of Sue May Hendren with first born
from daughter Sherry Banner:
Sue May Hendren Banner February 13, 1913 – April 2, 1972
My mother was the oldest of three children, only two of whom survived to adulthood. My mother and one sister five years her junior had a younger brother who died in infancy. Sue May Hendren graduated from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (Womens College) in 1932. She taught high school English until her marriage to E.C. Banner and subsequent birth of three children. My mother returned to teaching in the early 1950s teaching 6th grade, followed y years of teaching high school English and/or French until her health began to fail in 1971. Sue May Hendren was a woman of substance; she was intelligent, loving, strong in her commitment to integrity. She was a voracious reader and enjoyed writing. As her daughter, I have often thought – had she chosen a different life’s path – she might have become an accomplished author and scholar
