Clara Sue Hardy

of Mountain View, AR

December 16, 1942 - January 17, 2022

On Monday, January 17, 2022 at 11:22 AM, the Rose/Hardy family lost their beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.

Sue had a contagious smile that lit up a room. If you didn't know Sue, you would before the night was over and you can guarantee that she would have you posing for a picture and it would be at least 5 takes before she was finished. Sue was a very stylish, classy, elegant lady. She was kind to everyone and a friend to all.

Sue was born in the small town of Big Flat, Arkansas, to Lester and Clara Rose on December 16, 1942. Sue was the oldest child of seven, followed by Betty, Nathan, Nancy, Paul, Barbara and Pamela respectively.

Sue graduated in Oxnard, California and earned her nursing degree as an LPN, in the state of California. Her passion was painting. She started taking classes in California when she was young and became an incredible artist. Many of her award winning paintings are displayed in Mountain View Arkansas. Following in our mother's footsteps, Sue learned to be an amazing seamstress and quilter. She also created beautiful needlepoint, crochet and embroidery items. Sue was incredibly talented.

When Sue and Rudy retired 30 plus years ago they decided to move to Mountain View, Arkansas, where Sue's roots began. They became '' wannabe'' farmers raising cows, many stray dogs, cats, goats etc; they loved tending a garden together, and canned whatever they could. A beautiful blueberry patch was also tended lovingly and was eventually opened to the public.

Sue's extensive picture and video collection more than prove her complete LOVE of music. She could be found wherever the music was playing whenever she had spare time.

Sue is survived by her sons, Stephen Kirk Hardy, and Jeffrey Dean Hardy; her grandchildren, Troi Hunter, Nicole Hardy and Jennifer Schneider, and great granddaughter Scarlet Hunter; her brother Nathan Rose, and sisters, Nancy and Pamela Rose.

Sue was preceded in death by her parents, Lester and Clara Rose; husband, Rudy Hardy; brother, Paul Rose; sisters, Betty and Barbara Rose; and daughter, Susan Gholson.

The visitation and funeral service for Sue is Saturday, January 22, 2022 at Roller Crouch Chapel in Mountain View, Arkansas. The visitation is from 12:00-2:00 PM and the funeral service following at 2:00 PM with Pastor Paul Mize and Rev. Don Campbell officiating. Interment is at the Historic Cemetery of Mountain View next to her husband, Rudy Hardy.

Pallbearers are Tony Chadwick, Kirk Hardy, Eric Mitchell, Clint Clark, Weston Mitchell, Eric Mitchell, and Wilder Mitchell.

Everyone that knew and loved Sue walked away with a little more sparkle in their life.
Sue was respected and revered for her strong love and faith in God.


Clara Sue Hardy, your legacy will live on forever.

Sue, though our time spent together was short and you could not speak; we made a connection as you talked to me with your eyes and that sweet smile. I knew there was so much you were trying to say but couldn’t.
I enjoyed our hospital visits and I like to think that I added some degree of happiness along the way. My life is much richer for having met you. I will miss you my sweet friend. RIP. Your battle has been won. Until we meet again, save me a seat at the table and we can have a real conversation someday.

My Aunt Sue was a strong woman of faith and she had a strong relationship with God. My Aunt Sue’s life was full of ups and downs. but she always knew God would see her through. She went through the unthinkable heart pain that anyone could possibly go through in the past several months leading up to her passing. She still showed much strength & grace. This last battle God finally said it is finished and it was time for her to rest. My Aunt Sue was a prayer warrior, always praying for others, and a woman after God's own heart.
It is difficult for me to forget a woman who comes to mind when I read certain Bible verses. The following verses are from Proverbs 31 which describe the woman my Aunt Sue was to me.

* She is energetic and strong, a hard worker (verse 17).
* She is clothed with strength and dignity (verse 25).
* When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. (verse 26).
* Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. (verse 30).

I will never forget the special talks we had & the many times we prayed together throughout the years touching the throne of God for the next seen miracle in our family and our own lives. You will be deeply missed Aunt Sue. Hug my Momma for me & Tell her I’m ok. Rest well Aunt Sue, your work on earth is now done. You may rest now for all eternity in heavens splendor with the Lord & all your loved ones that had gone on before. You are now reunited with the love of your life may you and Uncle Rudy rest in eternal bliss.

I love you always,
Your Niece Alicia Ann Rowell
