Sudie and her husband George moved into the home of her parents ,Bessie and Floyd Rowzee, at the time of their marriage and never moved out. As a matter of fact she is still there!!!

On the death of her mother ,Sudie took to bed,allowing her husband George and her sister Leslie to do the cooking ,cleaning, washing ,ironing, and the yard work as Queen Sudie lay reposed in bed.. In the mornings Sudie would leave her bed long enough to bathe set her hair,apply makeup, don a fresh gown and back to bed!!!! Her Addiction,you ask? Ball Games--Watched them constantly ,on T.V. ,Propped up in bed and kept a daily diary all teams, team players ,and where they were playing at any given time. Her pursuit of knowledge, was to read more books on ball games.

From her bed , she claimed squatters rights, to the house and all her mother's possessions, not allowing her sister Leslie, to remove or have so much as an ash tray.

She would not allow visitors to enter the house, not even the pastor of the family church. She would not allow the shubbery around the house to be trimmed and in 1986 they had covered the windows of the house and reached the roof, completely prohibiting any sunlight into the home.

Finally in 1985,when Sudie demanded that Leslie, who was a dedicated church worker and a Sunday School teacher, give her class up and not attend church any longer, Leslie "found her backbone" (Finally, I might add) and did not visit or call her Sister any more.

When Sudie's husband ,George, died in 1987, Sudie left her bed ;made the funeral arrangements and in a bizarre way bought a crypt (without Leslie's knowledge) where George,Sudie Leslie and her husband,Ellison were to be buried. This is located in Elm Hurst Cemetery, in Elberton.Ga.
