| Published by Mohave Daily News Online from Jul. 18 to Jul. 25, 2021 - Bullhead City, Arizona - Our beloved father, husband, and friend, Dennis George Scholl went home to his heavenly family on Tuesday, June 15, 2021. He was born on November 20, 1942 in Beloit, Kansas. A son of Albert and Parthene Scholl, he grew up joyfully playing with or teasing his younger brothers, Doug and Don, dutifully helping care for elderly grandparents, and working hard on local farms during the summer. He graduated from Beloit High School and served in the U.S. Army in Germany during the Vietnam War Era. Then, he made his family proud by finishing an associate degree and later pursuing a career with the United States Postal Service from which he retired in 2003. Over the years, he was a letter carrier in Topeka, Kansas; Tucson, Arizona; and Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico. But he didn't stop there! Dennis enthusiastically served as a substitute teacher for years while living in El Paso, Texas, enjoying the middle school kids and the camaraderie with the teachers, who loved and respected his gift for discipline. Finally, in his last years, Dennis chose to settle in the beautiful riverside community of Bullhead City, Arizona. He raised large beautiful cactus gardens, wherever he went, making the desert neighborhoods bloom around his home. He loved a road trip, with or without his red motorcycle or 350-Z sports car, visiting friends and relatives all over the country. He was always up for a drive, short or long. He was a gracious host but spent hours planning for trips and visits. His many hobbies included a passion for recycling glass bottles into unique musical wind chimes and designing quirky heads into hat stands for his dapper hat collection. Dennis loved music, especially toe tapping Motown, Jazz, and Blues. Old time country western favorites often filled his home and got him out to local bars and concerts for the joy of listening. Dennis was a unique soul who filled his glass to the brim and gave a toast to those around him. He will be truly missed by those who knew his helping hand or love for poker. He is survived by his wife, Minnie Jo Wixom; his chldren, the love of his life, Jeff (Colleen), Heather (James), and Aaron (Carissa) Scholl; loving step-children, Thor (Kaley), Shiblon, Gretchen, Kori, Anthony, and Isaac Wixom; brothers, Doug and Don (Deb); and past spouses, Janet Wooddancer-Fisher and Sue Uremovich; grandchildren, Davin, Mason, Javien, Josie, Leila, Chloe, Ellie, and Isaac Jr.; and many, many friends join to celebrate his life. A Memorial and burial service was held in Glenn Elder, Kansas. |
