Louie Schuetz
1921 - 2015
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Louie Schuetz on January 24, 2015 at the North Okanagan Hospice House, surrounded by his loving family after a brief struggle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife of 70 years Joan; daughters: Nadine (Dan) Nickel, Leona (Don) Muir; granddaughter: Wendy (Gord) Richards; grandsons: Jerry (Cheryl), Mike (Lisa), and Richard ( Becky); along with 3 great grandchildren: Keegan, Amelia, and Hazel.
Louie was born on the farm in Neidpath, Saskatchewan, March 21,1921, attended Fern Valley School and Luxor School in Neidpath. A farmer all his life in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, he and Joan retired to the farming community of Armstrong, B.C. in 1989 to be closer to their children. In his retirement, Louie curled and lawn bowled for several years, contributed countless volunteer hours, and enjoyed keeping his yard manicured prior to moving into Heaton Place - where he made new friends with his winning smile. His family will treasure his storytelling, the lessons of his character, and a wonderful humour he shared with us all.
A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30pm on Saturday, February 14, 2015 at the Seniors Centre (2520 Patterson Avenue, Armstrong, BC). Donations in memory of Louie can be made to the North Okanagan Hospice Society (3506 27 Avenue, Vernon, BC V1T 1S4) or a charity of choice. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at www.MyAlternatives.ca
