Mildred Reona Schaap

Mildred “Millie” Schaap was born March 15, 1934, in Iowa, where she grew up enjoying farm life with her three sisters. In 1957, she married Conrad Schaap, and they shared 63 years of marriage before he went home to be with Jesus.

Together, they raised two sons, Curt and Todd, while opening their home and hearts to countless children and others in need. Their home was a place of welcome, good food, encouragement, and Bible study.

Millie loved Jesus and devoted her life to serving Him and sharing the Gospel. Her faith was reflected in her kindness, generosity, hospitality, and love for others. She enjoyed worshiping, studying God's Word, and serving and feeding those in her church, GI’s, Cadets, neighborhood kids, and her family.

Gifted with numbers, Millie worked at Colorado National Bank Exchange, Young Life, Navigators, and Infinity Marketing. Her greatest gift, however, was her heart. She had a special love for her grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable joy. She treasured each of them and delighted in being part of their lives. The love, faith, and memories she shared with them will remain a lasting part of her legacy.

Millie will be deeply missed, but we rejoice that she is home with her Lord and Savior, reunited with Conrad. Her legacy of faith, love, and service will live on in the many lives she touched. She lived to serve Jesus, and her life will continue to point others to Him.

Memorial service will be November 20, 2026 at 10:00 at Woodmen Valley Chapel (290 E Woodmen Rd). In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to LifeNetwork.
