Susan Shumaker Obituary
I have read these obits forever and they never included me. The procrastinator in me finally finished something. I was born long ago and died on May 29th, 2024, at the age of seventy-five. I am at peace in a world with no clutter or dust. I wanted them to plant me in my whimsical garden under a bowling bowl pyramid in my bottle tree grove. But health codes would not allow it. Thus, I have chosen to take my last ride to Wright State University and earn my post-mortem graduate degree in anatomy before returning to my family. If you did not send flowers while I was alive, please do not bother now. I would like for those that loved me to join and celebrate my life knowing that I am free. Survived by my sister Nan Fairman, my children Peter Shumaker (wife Sam and their daughters Emma and Everly) and Angela Shumaker (husband Donny), my stepchildren Tobi Shumaker and Kevin Shumaker (wife Casey and his daughter Shelby), and my beloved cat Ziva.

Depart of the Christian soul,
Out of this world,
In the name of God,
The father all mighty,
Who created you,
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Who redeemed you,
In the name of the Holy Ghost,
Who sanctifies you,
May you rest, This day in peace,
In your dwelling place,
IN THE PARIDISE OF GOD.
