Linda Sue Morgan Sanders was born in Swannanoa, N.C. on April 2, 1939. Sue moved to Summerville in 1976 with her former husband, Dr. John D. Sanders, and their daughter, Kathy. 

Sue loved the town of Summerville and was a member of many civic organizations including the Flowertown Garden Club, the Preservation Society, Sculpture in the South, and many more. Sue loved history and helped redesign the brochures promoting the town and the house tours. She spent countless hours researching Summerville’s past and old homes to ensure the info in this very brochure was accurate, detailed, and interesting. 

Sue was elected to Town Council in 1988 and served several terms during which she chaired the Planning Committee, Recreation Committee and the Tree Committee. Her passion for protecting the town’s trees was a hallmark of her council service and was emboldened by her service in the Flowertown Garden Club. 

After over fifteen years serving as a concierge at the Woodlands Resort and Inn, Sue loved sharing her knowledge of Summerville and its history with guests there. That talent she later brought to the Chamber of Commerce where she worked the front desk, greeting visitors to Summerville and answering their questions. 

Sue passed away on October 16, 2018. Soon after, the Historic Homes and Flowers Walking Tour that she loved so much was renamed in her memory.
