Shirley Ann (Siems) Epperson, 88, of North Little Rock, passed away peacefully on August 1, 2025. She was born on July 22, 1937, in Stuttgart, Arkansas, to Johnny Siems and Jessie Gmachowski. A devoted homemaker, Shirley was also a steadfast partner in her husband’s business, T.H. Epperson & Son House Moving, offering support in every way she could.

She is now reunited in heaven with her parents; her stepmother, Mary Lillian Siems; her brother, Kenny Joe Siems; and her beloved daughter, Leslie Eanes.

Those who live on to cherish her memory include her devoted husband of 71 years, Edward Epperson; her sons Jeffrey and his wife, Linda, and Blaine and his wife, Donna; her brother, Alan Siems; four grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and one great-great-granddaughter.

Shirley embraced life with joy, optimism, and determination, carrying a lifelong passion for travel and adventure. Her days were guided by a deep and abiding faith in the Lord, which shaped the way she lived. To her family, she was lovingly known as “Mama Sae,” a source of unconditional love and unwavering devotion.

She will be lovingly remembered not only by her family, but also by dear friends and her faith community, who were grateful for her presence in their lives.
