Lenore Schumann

Lenore (Wrang) Schumann, 88, formerly of Old Saybrook and Middletown, beloved wife of Alan "Red' R. Schumann, Sr., died Friday, July 22, 2022, at The Saybrook at Haddam. She was born in Middletown, the daughter of Dr. William E. and Catherine (Lee) Wrang. She was a graduate of Bay Path College in Longmeadow, MA. Lenore was employed as a buyer for Bunce's Department Store and later worked for the City of Middletown Parking Authority and Finance Departments. Besides her husband, Lenore is survived by her son, Alan R Schumann, Jr., and his wife Marisa of Cromwell; daughter, Erica Cosenza and her husband Frank of Old Saybrook; grandchildren, Matthew Schumann of Cromwell, Kathryn Schumann of New York, NY, Nicholas Cosenza and his wife, Michelle of Kodiak, AK, A.J. Cosenza of Boston, MA; sister, Sheila Farrell and her husband Harold of Cromwell; sister-in-law Alice Wrang of Portland, also, multiple nieces, nephews, and godchildren. She was pre-deceased by her daughter, Carol, and brother, William Wrang, Jr. Summers on the Connecticut shore with her extended family were a large part of her life and the source of numerous happy memories. Lenore and Red loved traveling and enjoyed experiencing the food and cultures wherever their adventures took them. Mostly, Lenore took great pride and joy in the lives and accomplishments of her grandchildren. Even as her memory deteriorated, just the mention of their name(s) would elicit a big smile with more questions and comments about their activities. An often-repeated quote about her grandchildren, "all you got to do is love them, and then send them home." The Funeral Liturgy at St. John Church, Old Saybrook is private and invitation-only due to Covid concerns. The mass will be live streamed at the following link https://youtu.be/SF_ewqFm3DE on Saturday at 10 a.m. Burial will follow in St. John Cemetery, Middletown. Those who wish may send memorial contributions to the Connecticut Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, or the charity of the donor's choice. Finally, the family would like to express their sincere appreciation and gratitude for the care and support given to Lenore by the entire staff during her stay at The Saybrook at Haddam.
