Susan M. Newsome

 Mrs. Susan McManus Newsome, age 67, entered into rest peacefully on February 24, 2021 at
her home after a prolonged illness. Susan was a devoted wife to her husband of 47 years, James
Newsome, and loving mother to their three daughters Cail Newsome (Matt) Hammons, Leigh
Newsome (Chris) Phillips, and Anna Newsome (Bill) Holcomb.
Susan, a native of Cobb County, GA, was the daughter of the late Sue Wall McManus and Wiley
McManus, the youngest of their four children. A Warrenton resident since 1973, Susan was
retired from Warren County School System and a member of the First Baptist Church of
Warrenton. Susan served the students of Warren County in various positions, but her most
beloved memories were teaching second graders at M.E. Freeman Elementary School as a
paraprofessional.
Susan loved traveling with James, and the two gained many cherished friends adventuring
around the Georgia-South Carolina coast on their sailboat, but their greatest shared adventure
was becoming grandparents to Lee Hammons and Maggie Sue Phillips.
In addition to her husband, daughters, and grandchildren, survivors include her sister Pat (John)
Cardwell of Carrollton, TX; a brother, Wiley (Carol) McManus of Manchaca, TX; and a sister-in-
law, Amy McManus. Susan is preceded in death by her parents and beloved brother, Hollie E.
McManus.
