Jerry Lee Schwartz

Jerry Lee Schwartz, age 79, passed away peacefully due to cancer at his home on Sunday, July 4, 2010. He was surrounded by his loving family and friends. Jerry was born in Antigo on June 24, 1931, son of the late Laddie and Edna (McCann) Schwartz. On January 15, 1955, he married the former Beverly Noskowiak in Antigo; she survives.

Jerry is survived by his wife: Beverly Schwartz of Appleton; four children: Terrance (Jane) Schwartz of Delafield; Sandra Schwartz of Appleton; Debra (Mike) Maupin of Appleton; and Todd (Kelly) Schwartz of Neenah; four grandchildren; one great-grandchild; a sister: Beverly Kaplanek of Antigo; sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law: Jerry (Theresa) Noskowiak, Shirley Verhasselt, Robert (Rachel) Noskowiak, Ken (Sharon) Noskowiak, Phyllis (Gerald) Markgraf, and Demaine Noskowiak. There are also many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Bev’s parents: Joe and Mary Noskowiak; sisters: Faye and Sally; a brother: Laddie “Bud” Schwartz, Jr.; and brothers-in-law: Raymond Kaplanek, Larry (Carol) Noskowiak, Donald Verhasselt; and a sister-in-law: Marilyn Noskowiak.

Full military honors for Jerry will be provided at 12:00 Noon on Thursday, July 8, 2010 at the funeral home chapel. Friends may call at the funeral home on Thursday morning from 10:00 am until the time of the military rites. Rather than sending flowers, the family has established a memorial fund for Jerry.

The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to everyone at Heartland Hospice. Jerry could have received no better treatment. We will always remember your kindness.
