Sue E. (Davis) Meeker

Poland- Sue E. Meeker, 84, formerly of Howell Drive in Poland, died May 20, 2021 at the Hospice House.

Sue was born at home in Vienna, Ohio on April 11, 1937, a daughter of George and Mildred (Arnold) Davis.

Raised in Youngstown, she was a 1955 graduate of East High School. On August 15, 1959, Sue married Donald B. Meeker, and became a dedicated homemaker. They made their home in Poland for the next 60 years, where they raised their children and later welcomed three grandchildren. Sue dedicated her life to being the "Best Wife, Mom, and Grandma Ever."

For over 60 years, Sue was an active member of Good Hope Lutheran Church in Boardman. She was a member and leader of the church’s altar guild and women’s organization. She greatly enjoyed travel and social activities with Good Hope’s Funtimers.

Always willing to help and lend a hand, Sue was constantly active in community and school organizations. She served as a poll worker for the Board of Elections, was a former member of the Poland Historical Society, and spent countless hours through the years volunteering for school, sports, scouts, and band activities.

Her many joys included turning out incredible meals and desserts for family and friends, offering a warm and welcoming home to many, and playing cards with neighborhood ladies who have gathered to enjoy each other’s company (and a rousing game of 500) over decades.

Sue is survived by her husband of 61 years, Donald B. Meeker; daughter, Donna S. Meeker of Boardman; son, Brian A. (Colleen) Meeker of Minnetonka, MN; three grandchildren, Evan D.
