Chuck Schaefer, longtime Wellington resident, passed from this life to the next, entering eternal rest with Jesus where he is also reunited with his son, Steven. Chuck was born in Ft. Pierce, Florida to Marjorie and Vincent Schaefer, who each preceded him in death. His wife of 52 years and high school sweetheart, Susan, is left to mourn his passing, along with daughter, Lauren Schaefer Henley (Jay Henley, son-in-law) and his precious granddaughters, Olivia and Kiersten.
Chuck’s life, was a life well lived, and though his identity was found in Christ, he was also an accomplished businessman. A pioneer in the western communities, Chuck established Wellington’s first pharmacy, Schaefer Drugs, which is still in business today.
