Lillian "Sue" Laizure

Lillian “Sue” Laizure, age 76, of New Philadelphia, passed away Thursday, June 23, 2022, in New Philadelphia’s Community Hospice Truman House.

Born January 25, 1946, in Dennison, she was a daughter of the late Ernest and Mary Hodkinson Huebner. Sue graduated from Uhrichsville High School in 1964, and later, on June 18, 1992, married Kenneth “Ken” Laizure, who survives. She operated her own home child care business for many years.
