Obituary for R. Lee Scheuermann
Lee Scheuermann, 78, of Stratford, died Saturday, December 19, 2020 at Stratford Specialty Care. Due to the pandemic, a private family memorial service will be held. Burial will be at Vegors Cemetery. Foster Funeral and Cremation Center is entrusted with the services.
Roy Leland (Lee) Scheuermann, son of Roy Levi (Slim) Scheuermann and Paulina (Polly) (McLaughlin) Scheuermann, was born on November 5, 1942 in Ames, IA. He graduated from Ames High and the University of Northern Iowa. Lee studied in Germany for two years.
On June 21, 1964, he was united in marriage to Linda Jean Wright in Cedar Falls. The couple were blessed with three children. Lee and family moved to the Stratford area in 1978.
Lee had many different jobs in sales of which he was great at due to his ability to talk to anyone. His life-long passion was to become a house painter and started his own business called The Master Painter in 1990. A well-kept secret was that Lee was colorblind. He never wanted his clients to know they hired a colorblind painter. After retiring from painting, he purchased the Stratford bar and ran it under the name Bar None II.
Lee is survived by his children, Rhea (Rick) Yelle, Heather (Jared) Berglund all of Dayton, and Rilee (Jan) Scheuermann of Stratford; grandchildren, Lyndie Olson, Maddie DeVoogd, Chaz Dally, Sam Berglund, Cassi Berglund, Carl Berglund, Ty Scheuermann, Liam Scheuermann, Harrison Scheuermann; sisters, Beverly Olsson of Chatfield, MN, Neta Henry of Story City; sister-in-law, Jane (Doc) Henning of Ames; brother-in-law, Luke (Mary) Wright of Wadena; cousin, Paul (Mary) Mumm and many nieces and nephews.
Lee is preceded in death by his wife, Linda and his parents.
Lee was a jack of all trades which included building the family home north of Stratford. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, rendezvousing, mushroom hunting, and spending time at their cabin in northern MN with the family. Lee served as president of the Stratford Lutheran Church Council and was an active member in the yearly Stratford Days reenactments. He was well-known locally because of his arm-wrestling championships.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be left to the family to be divided amongst his favorite charities.
