Allen R.SCHNABEL of Fort Collins, Colo., was reunited with his loving wife Lillian on Feb. 22, 2010, when he went to be with his Lord and Savior.
He was born Oct. 19, 1923, in Eureka, S.D., to Gottfried and Lydia Schnabel, one of 12 children. He was raised on a farm 10 miles east of Eureka.
On April 30, 1944, he married Lillian Schumacher in Eureka, S.D. and made their home on a farm near Eureka. They were blessed with six children. On their farm they raised grains and had dairy cattle.
