Lyle Schaefer Obituary

Lyle Edward Schaefer, son of Robert and Ruth Schaefer, was born on August 2nd, 1947, in Seattle. He was preceded in death by his parents and his brothers Lynn and Larry. Lyle grew up in Puyallup and graduated from Puyallup High School. In May of 1967, Lyle joined the United States Army, where he served in Vietnam, returning home in July of 1970. Upon his return, he pursued a career in nursing, attending nursing school and dedicating himself to serving as an IV nurse in Puyallup and Tacoma.

Beyond his professional life, Lyle was a remarkably talented accordion musician, renowned within the Swiss and Norwegian communities up and down the West Coast. He graced many events with his music, including numerous performances in Leavenworth and any venue where polka music filled the air.
