Dean Schennum Obituary

Once upon a time, when the world was young, chug-a-rum chug-a-rum, Dean, of Bremerton, Wash., was born in Minneapolis, Minn., on March 23, 1937, to Harold and Gladys (Westby) Schennum, and that made all the difference.

Dean's memory will live on with his loving wife, Jan; sons, Steve (Sofia) and Scott (Tammy); daughters, Kris Cromwell (Steve) and Jody Morehouse (Steve); brother, Gerry (Pat); grandchildren, Natalie Schennum, Casie Schennum, Ezra Schennum, Riley Cromwell, Shea Cromwell, Brianna Schennum, Zachary Schennum, Aylish Morehouse, Tegan Morehouse and Rowyn Morehouse; and great-grandchildren, Zoey and Parker.

He is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Karen Rovente.
