Henry Merrill Schumann

1918 - 2010

Vater, wir lieben dich.
Henry Merrill Schumann, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather, peacefully entered the presence of our Heavenly Father and into the arms of his parents on Sept. 7, 2010, at the age of 92.
Henry was born in Brigham City, Box Elder, Utah, on March 8, 1918, to
Ludwig Christian George Schumann and Louise Marie Emma Reinhardt Schumann.
Henry was a devout member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served a successful full-time LDS mission in the Western States Mission (Colorado) from November 1940 to November 1942. Shortly after his mission, Henry served honorably in the United States Army from January 31, 1944, to May 21, 1946, in the 329 Ordnance Company.
Henry married and was sealed to his beloved eternal companion, June LaPriel Lund, on May 22, 1946, in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Henry was a hard-working farmer. He worked many years on various family farms. Henry raised his family in Blue Creek, Utah (dry farm), and in Lewiston, Utah (dairy farm).
Henry held many LDS church callings, including proselyting and temple missions. He was a great father and grandfather and exhibited extraordinary kindness and patience to all with whom he came in contact. His love, kindness, even temperament and wonderful sense of humor will be greatly missed. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed sharing it with his family.
Henry is survived by his loving and devoted wife, June LaPriel, and their 10 children: Danna May Montgomery (Gene), Kayleen Hunsaker (Dennis), Edamarie Walker (Perry), Denice Weatherspoon (Dave), Darl Schumann (Sherri), ElRay Schumann (Christy), Joseph Schumann (Tracey), Karla Torres (Ariel), Caralee Place (W.O.), and Lorenzo Schumann (Michele). He has been blessed with 36 loving and adoring grandchildren and 52 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by a sister, Irene Schumann Hunsaker, and a brother, George Schumann (Susy).
Vater, bis wir uns wiedersehen (Until we meet again).
