Beverly Sue Vaughn

Sue Vaughn, 87, was at home and surrounded by her loving family as she went to be with her Lord and Savior on February 13, 2016. Sue was born in Enid, Oklahoma on July 31, 1928 to Edward Daniel “Dick” and Marjorie Swartwood. The family moved many times throughout Sue’s childhood before coming to Oklahoma City in 1942. She attended Central High School where she was President of the Red Skirts, a cheerleader, a twirler in the drum and bugle corps., and where she met the love of her life, Jack Vaughn. After graduating in 1946, they both attended the University of Oklahoma and were married in June 1948. The couple spent their early years together in Oklahoma City, where they raised their four children, and later moved to Oak Tree in Edmond, where they lived until her death.

Sue had many good friends and her life was full of good times and memories made with them and her beloved family. She enjoyed attending OU sporting events, playing bridge, shopping, and traveling. But mostly, she loved being a wife, mom, grandmother, and great- grandmother. “Mumo”, as she was affectionately known, was happiest when spending time with her grandchildren at her house, where they would swim, play games, and stay up late. She was also known for never missing any of their sporting events, music programs, or birthday parties.

Sue is survived by her husband of 67 years, Jack Vaughn; her four children, Terri Hare and husband Pat, Judy Vaughn, Nancy Meadors and husband Randy, and Joe Vaughn and wife Donna; her 7 treasured grandchildren, Daniel Hare and wife Adrienne, Kristin Biggs and husband Randy, Hayley Nagy and husband Nick, Toby Vaughn and wife Jessica, Magen Malin and husband Roger, Collin and Cody Meadors; and her 12 precious great grandchildren, Brooklyn, Griffin, and Dylan Hare; Jack, Graham, and Reid Biggs; Charlie, Claire, and Aubrey Vaughn; Leah Nagy; Jacob and Ryan Malin. Also, her sister, Mary Lou Johnson and husband Clyde; her brother, Bud Swartwood and wife Suzanne and many special nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank the wonderful caregivers who enabled Sue to finish her life at home: Dr. Deck, Hunter of Carter Hospice, and Kay, Kelly, and Janie of Right at Home.
