Edward Emil Schumann was born in Oklahoma City on March 1,
1924, to Emil and Edna Schumann. Following graduation from
Harlingen High School, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps, wherein he
proudly served his country as a jet mechanic during World War II.
Upon returning home, he married the love of his life, Joan Phillips
Schumann.

Ed was a highly-skilled machinist who retired after thirty years with
Celanese Chemical Corporation. His sterling work ethic was also
displayed in how he proudly maintained his house, his yard, his tools,
and his guns with a precision bordering on perfection. In his avocation as an avid hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman, Ed greatly appreciated and cared for God's creation. His character could well be
summed up in the word, "steward," in which capacity he showed his
love for family and friends more in well-done deeds than in words.

On March 3rd, 2018, shortly after his 94th birthday and just shy of 72
years of marriage, this fine steward left his earthly service to rejoice
forever in the presence of his Savior and Master.

Mr. Schumann is survived by his wife, Joan; his son Dennis
Schumann (Diane) and daughter Karen Nance (Ralph); his grandson
Nathan Nance; grandaughters Connie Schaaf (Heath) and Abby
Nance McReynolds (Danny); and eight great-grandchildren. He is
preceded in death by his grandson, Aaron Nance.

A graveside service will be held Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 10:00 AM at Roselawn Memorial Park, Van Vleck, Texas. Memorial
donations may be made to Calvary Baptist Church in Bay City.
