of Plumberville, AR
September 12, 1953 - November 8, 2025
Gwendolyn Susan McMullan, affectionately known as Susan, 72, of Plumerville, Arkansas, passed away peacefully on November 8, 2025. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, Susan will be remembered for her boundless love, intelligence, and compassion, qualities that touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.
Born on September 12, 1953, in Arkansas, Susan grew up surrounded by family who instilled in her the values of hard work, kindness, and faith. Those qualities carried through her entire life and career. A special needs teacher at UAMS Kids First in Morrilton, Susan dedicated her professional life to helping children reach their fullest potential. Her patience, empathy, and heart of gold made her not only a remarkable educator but also a source of inspiration to colleagues, students, and parents alike.
Outside of work, Susan found immense joy in her family. She shared a loving and enduring marriage with her husband, Michael McMullan, and took great pride in her role as a mother and grandmother. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren, Cheyenne Griffith, Heath Conner, Gunner McMullan, Kynlee McMullan and Abigayle McMullan; finding joy in their laughter and wonder. An artist at heart, she found peace in painting, reading, and spending time outdoors, where she felt closest to God's creation.
Susan is survived by her husband, Michael; her son Elijah McMullan and Wife Hollie of Conway, Arkansas and the late Zach McMullan; her brothers, Joe Hood of Texas and William ''Bill'' Hood of Conway, Arkansas and her beloved grandchildren.
A memorial service to celebrate Susan's life will be held at Roller-McNutt Funeral Home in Conway, Arkansas, on Friday, November 14, at 3:00 p.m.
''All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.''

I'm so sorry to hear of Susan's passing. RIL to a sweet person, who I always enjoyed being around.

I worked with Mrs. Susan at Kids First in Morrilton. She was a special lady. Wishing the family well.

Eli, I'm so sorry for your loss. I think the peace we have is that we know, without a shadow of a doubt she is with her savior and with Zach. What a glorious reunion I'm sure that was. You've done an amazing job taking care of your mother. Please let me know if there's anything I can help with.

Susan you will be missed by all who knew and loved you. I had the pleasure of working with her at Kids First for @10 years. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. Rest well dear friend. ❤️

Susan was my friend and she was always there to support me, help me with my studies and I could always count on her. This world lost a very special person.

Susan. The little children loved you in this world. We know you have been rewarded in heaven for your love of all God's children.

Rest in peace Susan. Thank you for helping so many of God's special angels.
