First introduced to Houston Hospice through her work with the Garden Club of Houston, Sue has generously served on the Houston Hospice board of directors since 2014. She selflessly gives her time and dedication to Houston Hospice and many other organizations in the greater Houston area.

History of the Laura Lee Blanton Community Spirit Award

Laura Lee Blanton’s lifelong and selfless dedication to her family, community and friends is celebrated by all who knew her. Houston Hospice named the Community Spirit Award in her honor – and memory – in 1999, which is the year she died. Laura Lee passed away just prior to the 1999 event where she and her husband, Jack S. Blanton, were set to receive the award.  

Award recipients are selected based on the personal and civic virtues that Laura Lee admirably exemplified during her life.
