Ann Schumacher Swan

My beautiful wife, Annie, entered a new phase of her life-long relationship with Jesus Christ on February 21, 2026 surrounded by her family. Annie is my definition of love, faith, beauty, grace, dignity, and a helluva good cook. For a guy who at one time thought he might be a life-long bachelor, meeting Annie was like oxygen for a drowning man. I knew within hours of our earliest Denver days that she was the one; I only worried that she wouldn’t come to the same conclusion.

As a direct descendant of a Mayflower passenger, Annie was genetically inclined to adventure and how wonderful are all the memories I carry of our 46 years together. Some ordinary rough spots, but fortunately we recognized those as just potholes in life’s road. Thankfully, my cherished memories far out-weigh all else: memories of dating, wedding, working, re-modeling, praying, camping, skiing, playing, boating, loving, swimming, Telluriding, friending, birthing, cooking, traveling, churching, hiking, eating, housing, RV-ing, moving, scootering, gaming, TV-ing, laughing, shopping, spooning, movie-ing, exercising, dogging and walking. It makes me happy just to write that list! There is no one in the world with whom I would rather have done it all.

As I said many times: the sweet, faith-filled, thoughtful, considerate, loving Annie that most saw in public settings was the same Annie I knew in private. How unusual and remarkable that is; how lucky I was.

Annie’s recent graduation was preceded by our daughter Morgan and our son Corban. She is survived by her husband Tim, her beautiful daughter Courtney, Courtney’s husband Hector, and Annie’s soon-to-be first grandchild, Jackson. She is also survived by three great brothers and their families: Peter and Judith Schumacher, Millie and Ray Schumacher, and Sandy & Chuck Schumacher. Annie and I are deeply grateful for the love and support of our community of friends and her compassionate doctors and caregivers.

A memorial service will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, March 2, 2026, at Christ Episcopal Church, located at 510 Belknap Pl, San Antonio, Texas 78212.
