Lillie Anna (Schweighauser) Summers

Lillie Anna (Schweighauser ) Summers was born to Samuel and Rachel (Younger) on November 5, 1937 at Summersville, Missouri. She experienced her heavenly home going at Mercy Hospital in Mountain View, Missouri on Friday, August 12, 2016 making her age 78 years, 9 months and 7 days.

Lilly was united in marriage in 1953 to Sylvester Summers. To their union 7 children were born; Rosa, Judy, Betty, Hazel, Lester, Bobbie and Connie. Lilly accepted the Lord as her Savior at an early age and always enjoyed talking about him and sharing a prayer with those who visited her. She attended Oak Grove Baptist Church while living at Salem, Missouri and enjoyed the church services at Mountain View Healthcare as long as her health permitted. One of her favorite pastimes was reading her Bible, which she always kept close to her.

Lilly’s greatest treasure was her family. She loved each of them dearly; spoke of them often; and prayed for them daily. She loved to visit-never meeting a stranger, she would talk to anyone with whom she had the opportunity. Her positive attitude and her laughter lifted the spirits of those around her. She was known for her sacrificial giving to her family as well as anyone in need.

Preceding her in death were her parents Sam and Rachel Schweighauser, her husband, Sylvester Summers, her son Lester Summers and two sons in law, Rocky Hicks and Terry Cooper. Also preceding were her brothers, Merle, Harold and Earl Schweighauser.

Surviving are her children: Rosa (Bobby) Allen; Judy (Steve) Ruwwe, Betty Hicks, Hazel Cooper, Bobby Summers, and Connie Rawlings. Also surviving are her beloved 14 grandchildren; 22 great grandchildren; and 4 great great grandchildren, her brother Arvel (Brenda) Schweighauser and her sisters, Dorothy Walberg and Virginia (Ralph) Broyles. Lilly will be missed by her family, including many nieces and nephews and a host of dear friends she has acquired along life’s journey. However we rejoice to know she is now at home with Jesus, and those who have gone on before. Heaven is now a little Sweeter!
