Alexander Scheneman
Funeral services for Alexander Scheneman, 80, were held Oct. 9 at Converse Funeral Chapel in Douglas with Rev. Judith Lowrance of Hanna Assembly of God Church officiating.
Interment was in Harmony Gardens in Laramie.
Mr. Scheneman died Oct. 6 at Wyoming Medical Center in Casper. He was born Nov. 29, 1919, in Mitchell, Neb., to German immigrants Henry and Pauline (Achtziger) Scheneman. He had two brothers, Fred and Henry, and four sisters, Emma, Pauline, Mary and Ruth.
He grew up on the farmlands of Nebraska and South Dakota. It was while his family lived in South Dakota that he met and, on June 20, 1950, married Doreine Sorenson. Mr. Scheneman moved to Wyoming where he began working in the oil fields. He raised his family in Newcastle until 1971, when the promise of steady work lured him to the coal mines of Hanna.
His work history included Fort Motor Company in Detroit, Homestake Gold Mine in Lead, S.D., oil fields in Wyoming and the coal mining company Resource Mining and Exploration.
Mr. Scheneman loved fishing. He fished the lakes of South Carolina, in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean as well as most of the major lakes and streams of Wyoming. He loved to spend time with his family and will be remembered for his stories about the good old days. He moved to Douglas in March 1999 and lived here until the time of his death.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Doreine; son Richard; grandson Derek; brother Henry; sisters Ruth and Emma; and his parents.
He is survived by his brother Fred Scheneman of Seattle; sisters Pauline Kalmbach of Vancouver and Mary Michaels of Minneapolis; children Alan Scheneman and wife, Karen, of Rancho Cyucamonga, Calif., Pam Borrego and husband Roger of Gillette, Denise Conrad and husband Larry of Florence, Mont., Roger Scheneman of Douglas, Wendy Carlson and husband Tom of Williamston, S.C., Lisa Scheneman of Douglas and Teri Willadson and husband Fred of Hanna; 10 grandchildren; one granddaughter-in-law; and two great-grandsons.
Pallbearers were Larry Conrad, Roger Borrego, Fred Willadson, Willie Smith, Ryan Borrego and Michael Scheneman. Honorary pallbearer was Tom Carlson.
Memorials to Home Away from Home in care of Converse Funeral Chapel, P.O. Box X, Douglas, would be appreciated by the family.
Converse Funeral Chapel was in charge of arrangements.
