Obituary
Montezuma - Lynn Krueger McCalmont passed away peacefully April 8, 2015 in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Lynn was born March 20, 1928, in Montezuma, the son of Stuart and Pearl (Krueger) McCalmont.
He majored in Advertising at Oklahoma A&M, and was commissioned as a Second Lt. in the USAF upon graduation in 1951. He and Mary Lou Robertson were married May 3, 1953. Following his honorable discharge, they were in the grocery business in southwest Kansas. Lynn returned to school to become a computer programmer, and moved the family to Alamogordo, New Mexico in 1970. Employed at Holloman AFB and then White Sands Missile Range, Lynn and Mary Lou moved to Las Cruces in 1983 following a five year Civil Service assignment in the Republic of Panama (Canal Zone). Lynn retired as a Civil Servant from WSMR in 1994.
Outside of work, Lynn was highly involved with his children and in scouting. He served as Scoutmaster of Troop 146 in Fowler and also for Troop 147 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Lynn was ever proud that all four of his sons obtained the Eagle Scout Award. He received the Wood Badge in recognition of his service from BSA in 1979. In retirement, Lynn enjoyed wood working, gardening, and golf. He especially enjoyed doting over his grandchildren during their numerous visits to New Mexico over the years.
Known as "Papa" by his grand and great grandchildren, he was preceded in death by his parents, Stuart and Pearl (Krueger) McCalmont, his siblings, Warren, Don, Margaret, and Maynard, and his infant son Matthew. He is survived by his wife, Mary Lou (Robertson) McCalmont, five children, 10 grand and four great grandchildren.
Quick to praise and ever helpful, his warm smile, wit, and sense of humor will be missed by all who knew and loved him. A memorial service will be held at 4:00 PM, June 6 at Fairview Cemetery in Montezuma, with military rites by KSARNG Military Honors, where his cremains will rest eternally near his parents and infant son. Local arrangements have been entrusted to Swaim Funeral Chapel of Montezuma. Thoughts and memories can be shared in the online guest book at www.swaimfuneralhome.com.
