Susan Peal Sumner

Susan Jo Peal Sumner of Sugar Land, TX passed away January 14, 2016 with her family by her side at the young age of 60. She was born in Shreveport, Louisiana on September 4, 1955 to the late William Ralph Peal and Betty Jo Carter Peal.

With her cheerful and generous spirit, she could make a friend out of anyone. Her greatest happiness was in helping others whether hosting celebrations or helping friends and family in times of need. She wasn’t just the life of the party; she brought joy to everyone around her, a true “hostess with the mostest,” as she would say.

Susan attended St. Vincent’s Academy in Shreveport, LA where she found her love of singing as a member of the Cheerful Givers. She graduated from Louisiana Tech in 1976 where she enjoyed her time as an Alpha Chi Omega. She was dedicated to her family and community, active in both PTO and Girl Scouts. She retired from Fort Bend ISD after 12 years of employment.

Susan is survived by her loving husband of 38 years, Mike Sumner, her daughters Corey Sumner and Sarah Sumner Salvati, son-in law Joseph Salvati, sister Brenda Jones, brother Gary Peal and wife Kelly, stepmother Martha Cloyd Peal, stepsister Elizabeth Cloyd Maxwell and husband Reed, stepbrother Edward Cloyd, brother-in-law Steve Fuqua, numerous nieces and nephews, and her loving dog, Prissy. She is predeceased by her parents and dear sister Connie Peal Fuqua.

A memorial service celebrating her life is scheduled for Tuesday, January 19, at 1:00pm at Christ Church Sugar Land, 3300 Austin Parkway, Sugar Land, TX 77479.
