Vivian Schettler

Vivian Schettler was laid to rest on April 8th, 2019 with family at her side. She was born October 21, 1936 in Waterville, WA to Eldon and Gladys (Spring) Armour. She lived in Waterville her entire life, graduating in 1954 from Waterville High School. She started dating Roland ‘Tex’/’Bobby’ Schettler in 1953 and were married on April 9th, 1955. They shared many happy years and she missed their 64th Wedding Anniversary by just one day. She was not only a homemaker for the family, but spent much of her time assisting her children with Bluebirds, Campfire, Cub Scouts, and she also assisted Jane Hensel with the Junior Choir at the United Lutheran Church. She could also be seen at many of the baseball games helping raise funds by running her own concessions stand. She served as the secretary of the Douglas County Cemetery District #2 for 34 years. She worked at the Waterville Meat Market for K. R. and Terry Ludeman and at the C & S Grocery for Cindi Jalbert. She was an avid supporter of the different athletic events cheering on her children and grandchildren. She and Roland continued to support the Waterville Shocker athletic programs and were awarded “Waterville Shocker Fan of the year for 2009-2010” by the Booster Club. This award was something she was very proud of and continued her support until she was no longer able to attend. She spent much of her time crocheting afghans for graduations, weddings, and for those expecting children. She was very talented and made the most precious gifts. She was always up for a game of cribbage or pinochle and would play for hours. Her children were recently caught playing pinochle with her in the hospital. She was preceded in death by her parents and only brother, Eugene Armour. She was the last surviving member on her side of the family. She is survived by her husband and children, Cindy (Chuck) Garrett, Dwaine (Bobbi) Schettler, Joan (Chuck) Voelker, and Carla Schettler (Ken Mitchell). She had 5 grandchildren, Chad Schettler, Brooke (Evan) Casteel, Ryan (Kiera) Garrett, Anthony (Shelbea) Voelker, and Jeremy (Jesslyne) Voelker. She also had 6 great grandchildren – Cole Schettler, Phoebe Casteel, Brycen and Amelia Garrett, Addison Voelker, and Wyatt Voelker. Services for Vivian will held be at the United Lutheran Church, Waterville WA on Saturday, April 20, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Waterville Booster Club or United Lutheran Church, Waterville WA.
