October 17, 1924 — February 21, 2018

George Elwyn Scheperle, 93, of Lohman, passed away peacefully Wednesday, February 21, 2018, at Heisinger Bluffs in Jefferson City.

Elwyn was born October 17, 1924, in Millbrook, Missouri, a son of the late George and Lydia (Gemeinhardt) Scheperle.

He graduated from Russellville High School in 1942.

Elwyn joined the United States Army in 1944, and served overseas as part of the US occupational forces after Germany’s surrender in World War II.

He was united in marriage on June 11, 1950, at Trinity Lutheran Church in Russellville to Edna Louise Ott who preceded him in death on December 28, 2016.

After the war, Elwyn retuned to Millbrook and began operating excavating equipment, a vocation he continued well into his later years.

He was a lifelong member of St. John’s Lutheran Church-Stringtown serving as deacon, trustee and treasurer. He was a member of the Missouri Land Improvement Contractors Association (LICA), served on the Board of Directors for the Farmers Bank of Lohman, and was a lifetime member of the American Legion. He enjoyed traveling with Edna, hunting, fishing, and just visiting with friends and family.
