Sue P. Upchurch
of Mountain View, Ark.

April 17, 1928 – August 9, 2022

Sue Nell Peeler McGroom Upchurch, 94, of Mountain View died August 9, 2022, surrounded by her four children.

Born April 17, 1928, in Garland, Tenn., she was the youngest of five children born to Claude and Lottie Mae Dobson Peeler.

Sue grew up in Memphis and graduated from Humes High School, where she met and married Irvin McGroom. Together, they had four children.

The McGrooms were avid campers, boaters, and water skiers. In addition, Sue enjoyed cooking, flowers, sewing, bowling, decorating, ceramics, bunco, kid’s classroom activities, books, Cardinal baseball, and her dogs (and numerous grand dogs.)

Her fun-loving nature was obvious to all. She made birthdays, reunions, and all holidays special to her family and neighborhood friends. She was a member of the Methodist Church and Hospital Auxiliary.
She is preceded in death by her parents and siblings, Vertle Peeler, Bill Peeler, Dorothy Bell, and Marge Carnall.

Survivors include her children, Danny McGroom (Patti), Donna Sullivan (Larry), Cindy Samaha (Camille), and Kathy Ackland (Barry Whisenant); grandchildren, Brian Sullivan (Jessica), Tracy Garner (Shane), Christy Daniel (Scott), Kristin Townsend (Graham), Dana Nisley (Wade), Taylor Dunaway (Alix North), Evan Dunaway (Molly), and Ryan Dunaway; 7 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson.

A special “thank you” to the staff at Indian Rock Village Care Center of Fairfield Bay, truly her “Band of Angels”!

Services will be held Saturday at 11:00 a.m. at First United Methodist Church in Mountain View, with visitation one hour prior.

Pallbearers are Brian Sullivan, Scott Daniel, Wade Nisley, Jim Carnall, Dwight Gilbert, and Whit Fowlkes. Honorary pallbearer is E.A. Wallace.

Sue supported St. Jude Hospital and her local animal shelter.
