Arlington - Funeral arrangements for Susan Gilham Schwemer, 30, of 1107 Briarcliff, who was killed in a traffic accident Wednesday afternoon, will be announce by Moore Funeral Home.
Mrs. Schwemer was pronounced dead on arrival at Arlington Memorial Hospital after the accident at Fielder Road and Interstate 30.
Mrs. Schwemer's two daughters, Sarah, 3, and Vickie, 8 months, were treated at the hospital and later released. Sarah suffered a broken collarbone in the accident.
The accident occured about 3 pm as Mrs. Schwemer attempted to exit the eastbound toll ramp on Interstate 30 on to Fielder Road. Her car was in a collision with a pickup driven by David Kern Sutton, 18, of 804 Stafford.
Sutton was not injured in the accident, police said.
I just wanted to update. I am Susan's eldest daughter, Sarah. My sister, Becky, also survives our mother, Susan Gillham Schwemer. I'm not sure why the article above lists my sister's name as Vickie. If you have any info, memories, etc. I would be grateful. I was 3 1/2 and my sister was 8 months when our mother was killed. Thank you!
