Carolyn Sue Thurmon passed away March 29, 2019. Born in Plainview on January 7, 1944, in earlier years, Sue worked as a House Parent at the Lubbock Children?s Home, but she later spent decades employed by Underwriters Laboratories and Dillard?s Furniture. She was a loyal, loving, and generous mother who sacrificed all for her family. She gave when she had little, spoke the truth, and displayed a strong sense of righteous indignation. We hold precious the memories that made her unique: Never wear white after Labor Day, always use coupons, bread is best burnt, green tea & coke are medicinal, locked doors are silly, black & navy do not match, and for heaven sakes, brush your hair, it will make you feel better.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Alta Schmalzried, & sister Wanda Graham.

She is survived by brothers, Wendell Reeder, and Mack Schmalzried; deeply missed by her daughters, Keyle Thurmon, Tiffany Havens and husband Kelly, all of Lubbock, and Amanda McLaughlin and husband Jesse, of Aubrey TX; along with 7 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandkids.
