Bessie Ella-Vene Schutte
The community of Delaware (Osgood area), lost a very special lady. Bessie Ella-Vene Schutte, age 90, passed away Sunday, June 5, 2016, at the Manderley Health Care Center in Osgood. She is the daughter of the late James Louis and Ella Mae Wilson Lanham, born December 23, 1925, in Jefferson County, Indiana.
In 1940, she graduated from Central High School of Madison, Indiana. She married Gilbert Paul Schutte on July 3, 1945, and three sons were born to this union. She was a very loving wife and mother, who ran a tight ship! Her sons knew that they did not need to wait for their dad to get home if any disciplining was needed! From the late 1970s to the middle 1980s, she worked for Meyers Hardware in Milan. Bessie was a very proud member of the Republican Party, who had been seen over the many years working on the election board for Delaware Township. She brought her family up in the Delaware Methodist Church where she was a member, along with belonging to the ladies WSCS group. Community time as a member was also given to the Delaware Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary. Her greatest passion of all, aside from her family, was basketball. She undoubtedly was on of Jac-Cen-Del’s greatest fans, who had been seen for many years sitting in the bleachers rooting the players on and shaking her fist at the referees. She was feisty, loved life and will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
Bessie is survived by sons Ronald Lee (Sue) Schutte and Paul “Gene” (Nancy) Schutte, both of Greensburg; sister, Beatrice Marie Black of Hanover; seven grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by husband, Gilbert Paul Schutte; son, James Robert Schutte; brother, James Olen Lanham; and sisters, Elsie E. Sampson, Dorothy O. Hines, and Edith P. Lemens.
