Sue French Segrest, 97 of Panama City, Florida passed away on Friday July 12,
2024. Sue was born on January 2, 1927 to Carlton Eugene French and Willie Boles
French in Samson, Alabama. She was proceeded in death by her husband of 51 years
William Morgan Segrest, her second husband Oris Gather Hopkins; brothers Ralph
French, Wayne French and Frank French and sisters Betty Smith and Jo Anne
McDurmont, and her parents Carlton and Willie French.

Sue is survived by her son Steven Segrest (Elizabeth) of Panama City; daughter
Terry White (Russ) of Alpharetta, Georgia and three grandchildren; Craig Segrest
(Tiffany) of Panama City, Dr. Chelsea White of Scottsdale, Arizona and Alex White of
Alpharetta, Georgia.

Sue lived a full life and was loved and admired by all who knew her. She attended
Huntington College following WW II and later Troy University where she received her
degree in Elementary Education. She loved teaching young children and taught second
grade in Slocomb, Alabama until her retirement. Sue had a passion for music since an
early age. She was an accomplished pianist, taking classical piano for many years and
teaching piano for most of her adult life. In her later years she resided at Mathison
Retirement Community in Panama City where she had many close friends. She often
could be heard playing piano in the Mathison Assembly Hall and although she never
liked to play for people, residents would often slip in un-noticed to listen to her play.
During her years in Panama City Sue was a member of the Bay Medical Auxiliary and
was an active member of First United Methodist Church of Panama City and the Asbury
Sunday School Class

The family will receive friends at Wilson Funeral Home in Panama City on Thursday,

Florida, 32401 in memory of Sue Segrest.

The family would also like to send a special thank you to Sue’s friends and the staff at

you cared for our Mother.
