Norma Eleanor Schuh

Norma Eleanor Schuh, a native of the Capitol city, went to be with her many friends and family in Heaven on September 8, 2014 just nine days after celebrating her 97th birthday with her family. Norma was born in Little Rock on August 29, 1917 to the late Fred and Nora Eleanor (Maull) Parrott. She graduated from Little Rock High School (now Central High) in 1935, just one year after her future husband, and attended Little Rock Junior College (now the University of Arkansas at Little Rock) and Draughon's School of Business. On December 10, 1938, she married Lloyd Everett Schuh, Sr., who was then, a District Circulation Manager for the Arkansas Gazette. Since he was, at that time, working in Shreveport, Louisiana, and his father was a conductor on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, much of their courtship consisted of train rides between the two cities. In 1948, she joined her husband Lloyd in starting a business of their own, the Art-Lloyd Advertising Company. The 68 year-old local company continues today as LSC Marketing & LSC Promotional Marketing. But her most important and rewarding career was being a great Mother to her three sons and their families over the next 75 years. Norma was active in local garden clubs, served as a Cub Scout Den Leader and Homeroom Mother at her sons’ elementary schools. Her love of a good joke was legendary, and even at 97 she still remembered the words and could sing dozens of songs from the Forty's and Fifty's from memory. Her sons are grateful to carry on her great sense of humor via puns, one-liners, and practical jokes. The couple had three sons, Lloyd Everett Schuh, Jr., (Shirlene Howard) of Houston, Texas Jacob Hixson Reser, and Charles Scott Schuh (Amy) of Little Rock. She is survived by five loving grandchildren, Douglas R. Schuh, of Little Rock, Todd Alan Schuh (Danette), Christopher Howard Schuh, Andrew Clayton Schuh (Jessica) and Laura Schuh Vick (William) and two great-grandchildren, twins Bryan and Brianna Schuh all of Houston, Texas. The family would especially like to thank those who have helped to care for her and make her life more enjoyable during the past few years…Lois, Tiffany, Kay, Dee, Deidre, & Tara. We also appreciate the caring members of the Baptist Hospice team. Memorials may be sent to the UALR Alumni Association, 2801 S. University, Little Rock, Ark. 72204. Beloved, kind & gentle Mother…we will deeply miss you. There will be a visitation at Ruebel Funeral Home on Saturday, September 13, 2014 from 1 to 2 p.m. with a graveside service immediately following at Roselawn Memorial Park. Arrangements are under the direction of Ruebel Funeral Home, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com.
