Mandy “Sue” Susanna Hamilton Gallihugh Aylor, 77 of Charlottesville, passed away on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 at her daughter’s home. She was born on August 30, 1944 to the late Houston Hamilton and Martha Arizona Dotson Hamilton.

Sue’s favorite color was purple. She enjoyed her flower garden and as a true southern lady, she loved to feed you with her homemade dinners and desserts. Sue was a kind and gentle soul, an amazing and very loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Sue was river baptized and continued all her life believing in the higher powers and lived her life accordingly. She was loved by many and will be deeply missed.
