Sue Carolyn Swearingen Shumaker

Sue Swearingen Shumaker left this earthly realm after enduring a brief illness, surrounded by her devoted family. She is survived by her husband, David; David; two daughters, Stacy Pitts and Shelly West; son-in-law, John Erwin; and, two grandsons, Zachary West and Zane Erwin.; as well as her brother, Lowell Swearingen, his wife, Darci; and, nieces, Jennifer Swearingen Campbell and Lauren Swearingen Hardin; and, nephews, Bryan Swearingen and Daniel Swearingen.
After working as a bookkeeper for many years in various companies throughout Dallas and Little Rock, Sue obtained a long term corporate position with TCBY Systems, where she enjoyed her best career success in corporate management. While at this job, which included supervising the mailroom, she was able to meet David, who became her lovingly devoted husband. They married in 1996.

She treasured time with her family and friends, and recently attended her 50th annual Malvern High School reunion at Lake DeGray in Hot Springs, where she got to enjoy reuniting with beloved classmates to have fun, reminisce and share.
A service honoring her memory will be held at 11:00 am on Saturday, November 28, 2015, at Smith - North Little Rock Funeral Home, 1921 Main Street, in North Little Rock, Arkansas. An on-site reception to follow.
