Annetta Carol Schwalm

Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Annetta Carol Schwalm, 80, of Littleton, Colorado, passed away on June 17, 2021. She was born to parents Ernest Franklin and Kathryn Alice (Brenn) Lutz, on June 9, 1941 in St. John, Kansas.
    
She graduated from St. John High School in 1959. 
    
She went on to study Elementary Education at Emporia State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education.  She also received a Master’s Degree in Computer Education in 1983.

Annetta worked as an Elementary Teacher at Mark Hopkins Elementary for 32 years.  After 32 years of service, she retired from Littleton Public Schools in 2000.
    
Her life was characterized by a great love for her family.  Annetta enjoyed spending time with her eight grandchildren, attending recitals, sporting and school events, and planning family meals and gatherings that have become beloved family traditions.  She used her passion for learning and teaching to impact the lives of not only her grandchildren, but the countless children she taught and the student teachers she mentored over the years.  Annetta loved reading and singing and was a part of the Madrigals singing group.  She was also active in the Alpha Delta Kappa Educational Women’s Sorority where she served as the Colorado State President.  After being diagnosed with Lung Cancer in 2013, it was a testament to her faith, positive spirit, and resilience that she was able to overcome the many challenges she faced in her cancer journey.
