Sue Schauman

1930 - 2016

Our dear mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and friend passed away Saturday, January 9, 2016. Sue Schauman was born November 4, 1930 in Houston, Texas to Jonathan Franklin Hutchens and Ethel Brazil Hutchens. Sue was predeceased by her husband of 58 years, Ed M Schauman, who died July 27, 2008. Along with Sue's parents and husband, Sue was predeceased by son Edward Schauman Jr. Sue is survived by daughter Debbie Bixby and husband Steve, son Paul Schauman and wife Dez, grandchildren Anna Schauman, Christina Schauman Rode and husband Darren, Jennifer Schauman and husband Steven Morrison, Brandon Schauman, Laura Schauman, Jon Goodwin, Edward Goodwin, Paul Goodwin and wife Brittany, and great-grandchildren (to whom she was Gi-Gi) Matthew Schauman, Isabella Goodwin, Mackenzie Haynie, Breken Rode, Bane Rode, Adalyn Morrison and Connor Goodwin.

Together Sue and Ed founded Eastex Camper Sales, Inc and operated continuously for 40 years. Sue and Ed traveled by RV on many cross country trips and to Alaska where they spent their 50 th wedding anniversary with friends in Homer, Alaska. The business also afforded the opportunity to travel with family, friends, fellow dealers and manufacturers on trips from Moscow to Martinique, England to Hawaii.

Sue graduated from Lamar High School in 1949. On her senior trip to H & H Guest Ranch, she met Eddie Schauman, a handsome, young lifeguard from the country (Aldine). They both attended the University of Houston the next year and were married on July 14, 1950 at Second Baptist Church in Houston by Dr. Kyle Yates. Sue remained strong in her Christian faith throughout her life. She had a beautiful singing voice, and when she was younger, she served in her churches' choirs and as a soloist.

Sue loved her family and was always supportive of them as well as her many friends. She also loved the family's place in LaVeta, Colorado that she and Ed created; it was their heaven on earth. The years of vacations spent there with friends and family were treasured. Her favorite activity was sitting on the porch enjoying the view and serenity.
