Felice (Schuphoven) Schanz

Felice Schanz passed peacefully from us on May 11, 2007. in Prescott, Arizona. She was born in Georgetown, British Guiana to Frans and Ismay van Schuphoven.

Felice was brought to the United States by her mother as a young woman freshly graduated with honors fron her Senior Cambridge Exams. She recieved her bachelors degree from Pacific Union College in California, Masters degrees from University of California, San Francisco and San Jose Campuses. Felice had a great love for children and taught first grade throughout most of her working career. Many of her former students and their parents remain close to her.

Due to an injury, Felice was forced to retire early from teaching but was able to fulfill her dream of developing her art career at which she became very accomplished.

Felice was cherished and will be greatly missed by her loving husband of thirty five years, Joseph L. Schanz; three children, Larry (Angie) Tiffin, Denise (Michael) Powell, and Kevin (Karen) Tiffin; step-son William (Susan) Schanz; eleven grandchildren, cousin Evadne (Pat) Thompson; and many neices, nephews and distant cousins.

Felice had a way of making her family and friends each feel so special. She will be greatly missed and always remembered with Light, Love and happyiness.

A celebration of Felice's Life will be held Saturday May 26, 2007. at 11:00 A.M. at the Church of Spiritual Living, 3755 Willow Creek Road Prescott, Az.
