Sue Ann (Snavley) Shaw
Sue Ann (Snavley) Shaw, 59, of Winamac passed away peacefully at 4:21 a.m., Monday Sept. 26, at her residence.
Born March 28, 1957, in Rensselaer, she was the daughter of the late John M. and Delores (Boze) Snavley.
Sue was a 1975 Pioneer High School graduate and was active as a twirler, a member of Sunshine Society, in Pep Club, a member of 4-H and Junior Leaders Club, and was a member of White Oak Methodist Church and Youth Fellowship.
Sue Ann was a licensed practical nurse (LPN), and worked at Pulaski Health Care Center in Winamac and at White County Memorial Hospital as a med-surge nurse.
Sue had a strong and caring spirit, and even more she had an ability to always make people laugh. She loved spending time with her grandkids, attended their sports and school events, and her grandkids enjoyed listening to her tell stories. She was an avid Pioneer Panther fan and her favorite sport was football.
She cheered on Pioneer, Notre Dame, IU, the Cubs, the Bears, and was often times a Jeopardy champion at home. Sue was an animal lover, often making a home for strays, and was particularly fond of her grand dogs.
Sue is survived by her children: Thomas E. Shaw of Idaville, Candace Sue Shaw [Frank Szczepanski] of Valparaiso, and Sarah Ann Shaw of Ober; sister Sandi Kay Swetnam of Robinson, Texas, and four grandchildren: Tyler James Shaw, Alyssa Gabrielle Shaw, Nathaniel Jacob Hallenbeck and Sophia Elizabeth Hallenbeck. After reconnecting with her biological siblings, Sue’s family grew to include sister Pat [Dan] Whitler (deceased), Walt [Angie] Selby, Dori McCarty, and Ed [Paula] Stockman.
Visitation was at 2 p.m., with memorial services following at 4 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 29, at Harrison-Metzger-Rans Funeral Home, Royal Center Chapel. Inurnment was at Bell Center Cemetery immediately following the service.
