Darla Sue Schumann

It is with a profound sense of loss and a heartfelt celebration of life that we announce the

passing of our beloved Darla Sue Schumann on April 6, 2026. Darla departed this world

peacefully in Tucson, Arizona, at the age of 83. Her journey began on November 4, 1942,

in the quaint town of Cone, Texas, where she was born to the late William Wilbur and

Jessie Mae Thomas.

Throughout her life, Darla was a beacon of love and joy, whose warmth and compassion

touched the lives of all who knew her. She was predeceased by her cherished parents and

her beloved husband, William Schumann, with whom she shared many years of happiness

and companionship.

Throughout her life, Darla was surrounded by family, who were her greatest source of

pride and joy. She leaves behind her loving siblings, Lynda Stewart, Bud and Brenda

Thomas, whom she cherished. Her legacy is further carried on by her children: Jeffery

Todd and Debbie Bolin, Thomas and Jacqueline Bolin, Gus and Tawnya Towle, William

Tracy and Patricia Bolin, Jerry and Billie Sue Gross, Sheila and Lesley Thorne, Nick Lohr,

Marji Irish, and Tisha Schumann. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering support were a

guiding light to her family, who honor her memory with gratitude and love.

She was a proud grandmother to Mike and Kristyl, Jeffrey and Alicia, Christopher, Andrew

and Michelle, Cody and Mary, Bud and Tiffany, Jason, Cody and Brooke, Bernadine (Suzie)

and Ulysses, Tyler and Tiffany, Jessie, Tyler and Cheyenne, Kaitlyn and Eric, Dakota, and

Bristol, Indie, Meyer, Miller, Cooper, Clayton, Addison, Stetson, Laramie, Parker and

Linsey, Clay, Eli, and Xander were the jewels of her heart, and she found immense joy in

watching them grow.

Darla's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the importance of family. Her

spirit was a source of inspiration, and her legacy is one of endless love and unwavering

strength. She was a woman of grace and dignity, whose gentle presence will be deeply

missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

A service to honor and celebrate Darla's remarkable life will be held on July 18, 2026, at

10:00 AM at Elmwood Cemetery in Fruita, Colorado. Family and friends are invited to join

in remembering a life well-lived and to offer their farewells to a woman whose love and

kindness will echo in their hearts forever.

In remembrance of Darla Sue Schumann, let us carry forward her legacy of love and joy,

cherishing the moments we shared with her and finding comfort in the beautiful memories

she left behind. Her spirit will live on in those who were fortunate enough to be touched

by her life.
