Susan “Sue” E. Coombs

WATERVILLE – Susan “Sue” E. Coombs, 78, passed away peacefully at the Alfond Center for Health in Augusta on Monday, Dec. 16, 2024, with family by her side.

Sue was born in Bath on Sept. 28, 1946, the daughter of Franklin and Gladys Sweatt. She graduated from Richmond High School.

Sue was lovingly known as “Nana”, aka “The Nan”. She was very proud of her family and cherished her grandchildren. Her favorite pastime would be spent being the funnest, best Nana anyone could ask for. She was always seen walking and enjoyed it so. She loved time spent with family. She loved her many shopping trips with her daughter, Carrie. She enjoyed puzzles, games, reading, movies and loved coffee and a good cheeseburger. She was always just a phone call away to be there for the ones she loved.

Sue had a long courageous battle with cancer. As her battle began with her first diagnosis in 2014, She showed strength and bravery throughout. Her family will always remember the love she gave and the wonderful memories she left us with.

Sue was predeceased by her parents; as well as her son, Jeffrey Coombs.

She is survived by her daughter, Carrie Coombs and her partner, Scott Dorval; her grandchildren, Courtney Dorval, Gage Dorval, Corey Coombs and Samantha Coombs.
