Sue Hays Huffstutler Young of Trafford, Ala. passed away on Monday, February 2, 2026.

Sue "Nana" Young was an active church member at First Baptist Church Trafford for over 50 years, where she was very involved in the WMU. She retired from US Pipe, North Birmingham, after working there for 25 years. She volunteered for the North Jefferson Baptist Caring Center for several years. She and her husband, Gene, traveled with Builders for Christ for many years helping build and repair churches in the NJ Baptist Association. She enjoyed traveling, cooking, gardening, and most anything outdoors. She loved watching her grandchildren and great-grands do sports and dance recitals. She loved watching almost any sport on TV, especially baseball, softball and football. She was happiest when our entire family was gathered at her house.

Sue was preceded in death by her husbands, Larry Huffstutler and Gene Young; daughter, Elaine Mantooth; granddaughter, Lindsey Huffstutler; parents, Ottis and Verna Hays; brother, James "Bud" Hays; and son-in-law, Mark Hays.
