Dale Schowengerdt

Dale Schowengerdt, 86, of Mission, Kansas, died Wednesday, August 26, 2009,  at St. Joseph’s Hospital. 

 

Dale was born in 1923 in Osawatomie, Kansas.  He was a devoted and loving father of 7 and his family meant everything to him.  Dale served in the Army Air Force, stationed in Guam during WWII and after worked as a union electrician until retirement.  He loved to read, cook, play tennis, and spend summer weekends at Council Grove Lake pulling kids and grandkids around the lake in his ski boat.  He was an excellent writer and later in life took up woodcarving, making profiles of his grandkids and great-grandkids. 

 

Dale was a long-time member of St. Pius X Catholic Church.  His wife LoRee, son Mark, grandson Clay, and granddaughter Erin precede him in death.  He is survived by 6 children: Kathie Hannagan; Steve Schowengerdt; Susie Atkins; Craig Schowengerdt; Mary Kris Nolte; and Jana Hothan.  He is also survived by 29 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren (and counting).      

 

The family is thankful for prayers and requests that any memorials be sent to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

    My condolescences to the Schowengerdt family on the passing of Dale. I played tennis with Dale at Woodside back in the 1980s. We had permanent court time each year, playing in a foursome together at least once per week for several years. He had recently retired and really enjoyed his time with his family. Please accept my best wishes for the family.
