Albert Bartholomew

September 29, 1913 ~ April 15, 2009
Bartholomew, Albert, of Wichita left his earthly family on April 15, 2009. He was born September 29, 1913 in Medicine Lodge, KS. This 95 year young gentleman married Lois Shaw July 2, 1934, and was happily married for 47 years until her death on July 29, 1981. Bert was lucky enough to find love again when he married Jean Thompson on August 6, 1983, and they were together for 20 years in his beloved Colorado Springs, CO; until her death in November of 2003. After Jeans passing Albert came back home to Kansas to live with his son. Albert was a wonderful father to his daughter, Sherry Shriner of Cimarron, KS and son, John Bartholomew and wife, Erica, of Wichita. He also was a fantastic grandfather of 8, great-grandfather of 15, and great-great grandfather of 13. Albert was preceded in death by his parents, two brothers, two sisters and son in law, Ellis Shriner. Albert loved his Lord, all of his children, and his summer vegetable garden. This dear, sweet, loving man will be missed everyday by everyone who knew him. Services will be held at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, April 18, 2009 at Downing Lahey Mortuary West, 10515 W. Maple.
