LeRoy M. Scheetz was born in Delta, Colo. on Nov. 30, 1935, the son of Sylvester H. and Elizabeth C. (Pfiffer) Scheetz. Leroy spent his entire life in Delta and graduated from Delta H.S. with the class of 1953. LeRoy served in the U.S. National Guard. He pursued farming and worked for Delta County as a heavy equipment operator, retiring after 40 years of service with Delta County.
On June 9, 1956, in Delta, he married Frances A. Hunt. Together they parented four children.
LeRoy and Frances are members of St. Michael’s Catholic Church. LeRoy enjoyed working with wood, doing yard work, hunting, fishing, motorcycles, camping, and upon retirement he and his wife Frances became “snowbirds,” spending the winter months in Arizona.
But of all his hobbies and interests, his family was of most importance.
Among LeRoy’s survivors are his wife Frances of Delta; three daughters and their spouses: Enola G. & Greg Raash of Commerce City, Karen F. and David Phillips of Aurora, Donna L. and Daniel Underhill of Delta; and a son, Kenneth L. and Kim Scheetz, also of Delta.
LeRoy was preceded in death by his parents and two brothers: Eugene and Daniel Scheetz.
Arrangements are under the care and direction of Taylor Funeral Service and Crematory.
