That Morning

"We didn't know that morning,

God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

You did not go alone.

For part of us went with you,

The day God called you home.

You left us beautiful memories,

Your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,

You are always by our side.

Our family chain is broken,

And nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

The chain will link again."---Author Unknown

Oldemeyer, Shirley Fae Oldemeyer, nee Schlessinger

Source:  The Longmont [Colorado] Times-Call; 9 Mar 2014

        Shirley Fae (Schlessinger) Oldemeyer of Longmont, died Monday, March 3, 2014, at Sterling House of Littleton where she spent the last seven months of her life to be near her daughter Kristin and family. Her two daughters were with her when she died of heart failure. She was 89 years old.

        Shirley was born June 23, 1924, at the home of her aunt and uncle in Colorado Springs. She grew up there, the daughter of a meat cutter and grocery store owner, and graduated from Colorado Springs High School in 1942. She entered Colorado A&M that fall where she met and married US Army First Lt. Robert (Bob) King Oldemeyer, the beginning of a happy and productive partnership and family. Shirley left before the end of her sophomore year to follow Bob to various posts before he was shipped to Europe. At that point she moved back to her parents' house in Colorado Springs and shared a small room with her much younger sister and her first daughter Janine who was born while Bob was in the occupation army. When he came home, they lived in a tiny trailer in Fort Collins while Bob finished his B.S. and then moved to Madison, Wisconsin to finish Bob's education during which time daughter Kristin was born. Shirley's first passion (she was always passionate about whatever she was involved in) was her family to the end of her days. When Bob and Shirley moved to Longmont in 1950, she was a Girl Scout leader for both daughters, taught their Sunday School classes, sewed and knitted for them by the hour, was President of PTA and was generally involved with every aspect of their lives. For Bob, she entertained his fellow scientists from around the world, travelled with him on business, and gave him the freedom to pursue his interests, as he did hers. They particularly enjoyed travelling with children and grandchildren. They took their grandson Sterling to Africa and their granddaughter Zella to the Far East and Australia. On her last trip, Sterling escorted Shirley around France. In short, Shirley and Bob respected each other dearly, especially in the context of family. He taught her to love nature, and she led him to enjoy all the arts. They grew up together instead of apart and gave their children wonderful lives. Shirley was a natural leader. Jan and Kris always said she was born a generation too early. She loved being a wife and mother but needed more in life. Like so many mothers of her daughters' friends, she helped make Longmont, her church, and the wider community better places. Her family determined on her 60th birthday that she had been president of 21 local organizations, starting with Longmont Newcomers' Club. Included in the list were presidents of the Longmont United Hospital Auxiliary, the Longmont chapter of the American Association of University Women, Colorado State President of P.E.O. and chairman of its international convention in Denver, and Women's Fellowship of the First Congregational Church. Besides these leadership positions, Shirley was a member of the Longmont United Hospital Board for several years and the Christian Education Board for the Colorado Synod of the United Church of Christ, the executive board of the Colorado P.E.O. Chapter House in Colorado Springs, and heavily involved with the St. Vrain Historical Society and its archives. In 1977, at age 53, Shirley fulfilled her lifelong dream of obtaining her college degree. Majoring in history, she earned her B.A. at CSU in 1980, as well as memberships in Phi Beta Kappa and the history honorary. Both the faculty and many young students regarded her as a friend and attended he graduation party at home. Encouraged by her faculty advisor, she proceeded to earn an M.A. in archival management at CSU. She freelanced for a couple of years, establishing the archives of hospitals. Finally, starting in 1980 and commuting by 6:00 am RTD, she worked at the Colorado State Archives in Denver for five years.

        Shirley was preceded in death by her parents Zella Alma (Bishop) Schlessinger and Marvin Sterling Schlessinger and her sister Audrey Sucharski. Husband Dr. Robert Oldemeyer died in 2006.

        Her survivors include daughters Janine Reid and her husband William Reid of Massachusetts, and Kristin Moyer and her husband Kenneth Moyer of Littleton and their children Zella and her husband Jason Goettsch, and Sterling Oldemeyer. Two young grandsons, Oliver and Jack Goettsch gave her great pleasure these past two years. Bob's sister Beverly Decker and brother Donald Oldemeyer and their families remain close.

        Close friends P.E.O.s, and family who wish to share their memories of Shirley at a celebration of her life should come to the home of Francea Phillips, 1169 Princeton Drive, Longmont, on March 29 at 3:00 pm. Memorial contributions can be made to The Colorado P.E.O. Charitable Corp., Chapter House (designated on the memo line of the check) at Colorado P.E.O. Chapter House, 1819 W. Cheyenne Rd., Colorado Springs CO 80906. Or the St. Vrain Historical Society, 470 Main Street, Longmont CO 80501.

Beyond the gates of pearl I’ve walked on the golden streets. I’ve touched the walls of jasper and dipped my foot in the crystal sea. The beauty is beyond words and nothing could compare. I’ve even seen your mansion and someday I’ll meet you there. Let Jesus be your guide because His Word will show you the way! So please don’t cry because we will meet again someday.
