Sue Little (née Mosby), 62, passed away in her residence on February 13, 2025. She was born on July 18, 1962, in Jonesboro, IL.
Sue lived her life with kindness, dedication, and an unwavering love for her family. As a young girl, she found joy in spending time with her mother, grandparents, friends, and extended family in southern Illinois. After college, she moved back home and worked for a local bank before eventually moving to St. Louis, Missouri to pursue a career at Thompson and Coburn where she worked for 34 ½ years before retiring on July 31, 2024. Sue eventually worked her way to becoming a legal specialist at Thompson and Coburn.
She met the love of her life, L. Leon Little, and together they built a beautiful family in Affton, Missouri. Sue cherished every moment with her loved ones, whether it was a Sunday afternoon watching football in her recliner or cheering on a grandchild from behind home plate. More than anything, she looked forward to spending even more time with family after retirement.
Sue is survived by her husband, L. Leon Little; her children, Taylor (Adnan) and Trevor Little; her stepchildren, Zachary (Nikki) and Tara Little; and her beloved grandchildren, Tala, Tristan, Mason, Evie, Kinsley, and Tru Little. She also leaves behind her mother, Lois Joann Mowery; her brothers, Bruce (Cindy) and Mark Mosby; and many extended family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

I met Sue when I started working at Thompson Coburn in 2022. I instantly felt comfortable with her. She would check on me often to see how I was doing and offer guidance. Anytime she would pass by my office, she would stop in with a big smile, ask how everything was going, and would share any family stories/updates she had. I last talked to Sue in December – She told me how wonderful retirement was and that she was staying busy spending time with her family. Sue was such a special person, and I am deeply sorry for loss.
I’m so sorry to her family, loved ones, and the little Littles. Sue was an amazing coworker and friend to me. From all of the stories about her family, and pictures of her family she shared, I know she was also an amazing mom, daughter, and grandma, and deeply loved and cared for her family. One of the most genuine and caring people I’ve ever met. She was the first person to welcome me at TC and made sure I felt welcomed almost immediately. We kept in touch after her retirement. I enjoyed working with Sue and loved Sue as the person and friend she was, outside of work. She will be truly missed.
Trevor, I am so sorry for your loss. Please let Terrell know if you need anything. Condolences and prayers for the family.
My heart just breaks for the loss that her family & friends are going through. Such a precious person. We went to elementary school together & high school. She was very well liked, very talented & a sweet friend, always kind
A huge loss in our hearts. Prayers to the Family, may God give you strength & comfort during this time. 💕
My life was changed forever on February 13, 2025. I lost my best friend.
Sue and I first met in June 1981 at church. She wasn’t just my best friend, for all intents and purposes, she was my sister. We’ve laughed together, cried together, and laughed until we cried together. We even lived together for a while. We were pregnant at the same time and went through the wonders, trials and errors of motherhood together. Bob and I were honored to become Godparents to Taylor and Trevor. I’ll never forget the day they were baptized. What awesome moments to spend with Lea and Sue. We have spent many years of baptismal anniversaries together. We shared Christmas time together and many other times. We’ve been in the ER together. One time, we went to Sue and Lea’s to join them and go on to the zoo but before we could leave, Trevor and Stephen got to wrestling so much the inevitable happened and to the ER we went where Stephen had to have staples in his head, but he persevered and off to the zoo we went for a day of fun.
I have had some serious health problems for the past six months and I’m just now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sue has been there cheering me on. Sue has encouraged me, prayed for me, had my back so many times. Like I said, I’m lost without her. She will live on in my heart until we are reunited in heaven.
I love you so much, sis!
Following is part of a text message she sent to me. The author is unknown. She often sent me verses and prayers. How fitting this message is now.
God hears you.
God sees you.
God understands you.
God supports you.
God comforts you.
God gives you peace.
God is with you.
God will take care of you.
I first met Sue in 2014. I was new to MO and was fortunate to land a job with the IP unit at TC. With her sweet smile and welcoming demeanor, she became one of my favorite people at work. She always joked about how she was born in TC as she was one of the longest employee there. She was always very helpful and a great resource. Our talks always goes beyond work, family life, our faith and anything about St. Louis. Even after relocating to Colorado, we kept in touch. Like a Mama bear, she was always thoughtful. I was so happy for her retirement as it meant spending more quality time with her family.
I was lucky to have met Sue and considered her as a dear friend. She loved and was always proud of her family. You are greatly missed, Sue. I will continue to pray the rosary for you and offer mass for your repose.
May eternal rest grant unto you, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon you. May you rest in peace.
May God comfort and bring all the love to your family and friends.
I got to know Sue through my sister Angela. Sue was always sweet, kind and ready with a smile and a laugh. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go with all who are heart broken. I pray that God would send many Angels to wrap their wings of love around all those who are missing this wonderful soul, Sue Little.
Thank you sissy
I met Sue in 2012 when I transferred to the IP department at Thompson Coburn. She immediately welcomed me and made me feel like we had known each other forever. Several years later, she trained me to learn all things trademark. She was a very patient and thorough teacher, and we became great friends. She was always positive and uplifting and was quick to laugh – and to make me laugh. We shared many good times, and I will miss her so very much. I was so excited for her – and jealous – when she retired. She spoke constantly of her family and was always sharing news (and pictures and videos) of her kids and grandkids. She had a lot to look forward to, and I am sorry it was cut short. My prayers are with you all.
It was so heartbreaking to hear of Sue’s passing, we were coworkers at Thompson Coburn. I spoke to her a few weeks before she retired and she was so looking forward to spending time with family, especially her grandchildren. I’m so sorry her time was cut short. My prayers for your entire family, she was truly a good person.
Every time we saw Sue, she was smiling…especially when she was at the ball park watching her grandbabies do what they love. Many prayers for Leon, Taylor, Trevor, Zach and Nikki and all the babies and other family that loved her so. I am sure she was welcomed into Heaven with a warm smile like she always had for everyone she met. Rest In Peace, Mrs Sue <3
My time of meeting Sue dates back to around 1972, when she was very young. She was such a sweet young lady. It’s even hard to imagine her without a smile on her face. My husband and I got to know the family very well at that time. My heart breaks for all of them. I did not know until I read the obituary, that she lived very close to me. I’m so sad that I did not know that before now. I will be praying for God’s comfort for her family and for all who have known and loved her.
