Clem Schumacher

Clem Schumacher passed away on Tuesday, April 23, 2013. He entered this world on February 28, 1928 the son of the late Frank and Elizabeth Schumacher. On April 26th he and his wife, Lois Schumacher, would have celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary. Clem was a faithful member of St. Michael's church in Ripley, Ohio where he was a member of the Knights of Columbus.

A friend to everyone, Clem was one of Ripley's Outstanding Citizens. During his life, he was a member of the Ripley Fire Department and a Union Township Trustee. He was a well-known back hoe operator and farmer.

He was preceded in death by his brothers Paul and Raymond and his sister, Mary Ann Paeltz. He is survived by his brothers Bernie (Frankie), Stanley and Jim Schumacher (Judy) and his sister Coletta (Jim) Schaffner and many nieces and nephews. His passing creates a huge void in the lives of his Godchildren: Lisa Reynolds, Gina Wildermuth and Michael Blackburn as well as Lois Ann Lundergan Dennis (Jeff), Eddie Lundergan (Kim) and Drew Lundergan (Teresa). He will be forever missed by his grandchildren: Stacey (TJ) Emmons and their children, Madelyn, Connor and Chloe; Patrick (Leah) Dennis and their son James Andrew; Lori (Scott) Huff; Andrea, Katie and Joseph Dennis and Samantha and Andrew Lundergan. He will also be sorely missed by his many close friends who are too numerous to list. Ripley has truly lost one of its special characters.

Visitation will be held on Friday, April 26th from 5:00-8:00 at Cahall Funeral Home in Ripley, Ohio and the funeral mass will be held at St. Michael's Church in Ripley, Ohio on Saturday, April 27th at 10:00 am.
