It’s all about family — always.
Sue Smith Family Foundation is comprised of those closest to Sue — the people who understood the experiences that shaped Sue’s life and set her on a course of success.
Jimmy Smith
President & Trustee
Sue’s Husband
Taylor Smith
Vice President & Trustee
Sue’s Son
Jimmy spent the past 30 years founding, building and growing Sue’s Recycling & Sanitation, LLC. alongside Sue (and, later, his son, Taylor).
After losing his wife, best friend and business partner of over 40 years, it was important to Jimmy to keep Sue’s legacy alive. He has played a key role in launching the Sue Smith Family Foundation.
Jimmy remains actively involved with Sue’s Recycling. When he’s not at the shop, you can find him out riding his side-by-sides in Oklahoma and neighboring states.
Saying that Taylor literally grew up in his parents’ business hits the nail on the head. From a young age, he watched his parents work and sacrifice to build something of their own.
Taylor graduated with his bachelors in Finance from NSU and his MBA from OSU. He is currently President of Sue’s Recycling & Sanitation, LLC after officially joining the family business full time in 2006.
When he isn’t working, you can find Taylor on a tennis court with his son Rigley trading some serves.
Tori Taber
Program Manager & Trustee
Sue’s Granddaughter
As Sue’s oldest grandchild, Tori’s apple didn’t fall far from Sue’s tree; she’s every bit as sharp, capable and charming as her Granny.
Tori works in real estate and, along with her husband Kaleb, is raising three beautiful kiddos. When she’s not making it happen in the office or at home, Tori loves traveling and attending concerts.
Ryan Smith
Executive Director & Trustee
Sue’s Son-in-law
Sue’s son-in-law, Ryan, is well known for his love of list-making, planning and organization — all important skills in starting and managing a nonprofit.
Ryan is the Director of Operations for Sue’s Recycling & Sanitation, LLC and enjoys painting and being creative in his spare time.
It takes a village, though.
Beyond the officers who manage day-to-day operations, it takes the entire Smith family to help us build on Sue’s legacy.
