Grace K. Schulz

OREGON-Grace K. Schulz, age 80, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2016. She was born Oct. 15, 1935, in Brooklyn, the daughter of James and Helen (Thickpenny) Flood. She was united in marriage to Wilbert Schulz at Brooklyn Lutheran Church, on April 10, 1954. Grace worked for a time as a telephone operator and farmed with Wilbert in the Brooklyn area before moving to Oregon in 1969. She also had a job as a house cleaner. Her greatest job, which to Grace was her joy, was being a loving, devoted mother to her children and a life-long caregiver to her daughter Cindy for 60 years, until Cindy's passing on May 3, 2016. She liked to play the piano and accordion, listen to music, watch the Milwaukee Brewers, Milwaukee Bucks, UW-Madison basketball games, and loved to cook and bake. The moments she cherished the most, were being with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She also enjoyed many morning "coffee and treat breaks", with her special friend and neighbor, Barb. Grace is survived by her children; Diane (Ron) Webb of Oregon, Gary (Lynn) Schulz of Oregon, and Stacey Schulz (Eric Yaeger) of Madison; six grandchildren; Corey (Angela) Schulz, April (Kelly) Nindorf, Kyle (Cassondra) Schulz, Ashley Schulz, Kimberly Schulz, and James Yaeger; six great-grandchildren, Landon and Connor Schulz, Ava and Elise Nindorf and Hayden and Alexis Copus; brother, Ken (Beth) Flood; sister Kay (Bill) Zurfluh; as well as nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 50 wonderful years, Wilbert; her daughter, Cindy; sister, Rose; brother, Tom; and sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.
