Obituary: Dear family and friends, its difficult at best to sum up a mans life of eighty years in a few short paragraphs.

In the evening hours of 7th, 2010, Thurman Clifton Schwettman left this earth for his new home in heaven. Upon his departure, dad was surrounded by his family and loved ones to bid him farewell in the promise that he would prepare his new home in heaven for the rest of his loved ones to follow.

Thurman Clifton Schwettman (TC) was born 19th, 1930 in Houston, TX to Fred and Edna Schwettman. Thurman had an extremely difficult childhood up until he left his home for California at the age of 15 with $5.00 in his pocket. TC began working seasonal odd jobs to support him self which included picking apples, grapes and other various commodities including fighting fires for a summer. He followed the picking migration from California to Arkansas until he joined the oil field boom at the age of 16 in 1946.

The oil field work took TC from Texas to Oklahoma to Colorado in a five-year span, where at the age of 20 he met a 17-year-old beauty named Betty Ellen Johnston in Adam City, Colorado. Because of the conflict in Korea, Thurman volunteered and joined the marines at the age of 21. TC was sent to Korea where he fought for his country until his discharge from the marines in 1953. Thurman returned to Colorado where he drove up to Bettys home and loaded her and her mother in his car and drove non-stop to Raton, NM and got married on 12, 1953. TC, Betty and her mother immediately turned around and drove back non-stop to Adams City, Colorado, where they dropped off Bettys mother and began their life of 57 years together.

Thurman picked up where he left off and continued working in the oil field for the next several years where he and Betty traveled to numerous States and locations. TC and Betty wanted a home and because of the constant travel they purchased a travel trailer and made it their home. Starting a new family in a travel trailer evolved into TC and Betty being able to set-up and tear down in less than 30 minutes, which included the white picket fence they always put around the trailer. TC and Betty were out growing their trailer with their new family, so TC decided to work local in the Denver area and move into a home. TC went to work for Mobil Premix sand and Gravel . TC worked six days a week, 12 hours a day for 25 years until he retired.

Thurman was a man of impeccable character and integrity. He was a man of faith and loved the Lord with all his heart. He was a man that lived by simple rules in life; honesty, truth and commitment. Thurman put down a large footprint that encompassed affection, honor, giving, laughter, kindness and compassion for his family and loved ones to step into and follow by example. Because of his unwavering commitment to his family and friends, Thurman left this earth a proud and accomplished man.

On a more personal note: Our dad was a man that loved the simple things in life. He loved homemade ice cream, coffee with creamer, pie, tapioca pudding and chocolate frostys. Dad loved his fresh grown tomatoes and his beautiful roses. He loved his family around him at all times and loved to tease everyone whenever the opportunity arose. Dad loved to play games and cards and was extremely competitive as well as a good sport. Dad and Mom played numerous games of Yahtzee daily. Dad also was known as the candy man at dialysis.


Thurman Clifton Schwettman is survived by his wife Betty and five children: Mike and Lisa Schwettman of Denver, Mark and Michelle Schwettman of Durango, Tammy and Dave Evans of Delta, Matt and Jenice Schwettman of Denver and Janna and Mike Herndon of Fruita a brother Gene and wife Monica Schwettman of De Funiak Springs, FL, two step sisters Georgette McKean of LA, Joyce Murry of LA, fifteen grand children and thirteen great grandchildren.

Dad will be deeply missed by all.

Nancy F Schwenker, born November 26, 1946 went into the presence of the Lord on December 5, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado. Nancy was 68.

Obituary: Nancy Fischer Schwenker 26, 1946 - 5, 2014

Nancy is now free of the discomforts and difficulties that she encountered in her nine month dance with cancer. She tried diligently to stick around for her loving husband, family and friends.
Nancy was born in Boulder, at the Mapleton center, the first child of a spirited young couple, William Alfred Fischer and Eleanor W. Barron Fischer. Baby Nancy got early tours of Boulder in the chilly back seat of her folk's car while they delivered newspapers. Upon her dad's graduation from the University of Colorado and hiring on at Colorado , the family moved to Colorado Springs for the balance of her growing up. Sister Judith (Ledbetter), brother Dennis and sister Susan were added to the Fischer family. A standout feature of their lives together was a string of amazing summers spent living in Yellowstone National Park, while her Geology prof dad worked as a naturalist. Later, the family acquired a piece of land and built a vacation home near Westcliffe, CO. It became another paradise for the whole family and remains a special gathering spot to this day.
Nancy attended Beloit , Wisconsin, and Colorado , graduating with a degree in art history in 1968 (some of her college time was spent traveling around Europe and living on kibbutz in Israel). She moved to Boulder in 1971 and worked at various jobs, then decided to study engineering drafting as a means of doing nice work while using her hands (yes it was once done that way). She first practiced these arts at the CU Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics around 1980, where she met future sweetheart John Schwenker. Her skills and abilities led to different opportunities and continual advancements, finally managing engineering document control for Micro Motion, Inc.
John Schwenker eventually figured out that he had an awfully good thing and they were married in 1986. Nancy made a career change in 1997, completing programs at Boulder of Massage Therapy. She performed some standard massage therapy treatments from a home office, as well as volunteering with Boulder Mental to supply much needed house call body work for MS patients under their administration.
Nancy retired for real in about 2007. She helped her parents out with their lives in a Boulder retirement home and concentrated on her pleasure pursuits of piano playing and cooking (enhancing John's waistline some, while Nancy's was kept in good control with her friends at Curves gym). John was able to retire early in 2013. Nancy and John enjoyed many nice travels together, biking around town on the tandem, meeting up with friends, as well as always just lots of good companionship around home.
Nancy was preceded in death by her parents named above and is survived by her siblings, also above. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, grand-nieces and nephews of her and John, and two pet turtles. To many who worked with her and/or were family or part of her circles of community, Nancy is remembered as a gentle, thoughtful spirit with kind wit and good humor. She is deeply missed.
From a small collection of quotes important to Nancy: "... grace comes from an examination of ones life in which you realize that you don deserve what you e getting, yet you e getting it anyway... its the difference between seeing life as an entitlement and seeing it as a gift." Gregg Krech
