September 18, 1935 - January 11, 2025
In loving memory ~
It is with profound sadness and love that we mourn the passing of Mrs. Eileen Schultz in Red Deer on Saturday, January 11, 2025 at the age of 89 years. Eileen passed away, peacefully, surrounded by her children, Mike, John, Joanne, and her son-in-law, Tim.
Eileen was the beloved second youngest child of Ingvald and Ethel Johnson, born in Frontier, Saskatchewan. Her family moved to Alberta when Eileen was quite young and she spent most of her schooling years in Rosalind, Alberta. After graduating High School, Eileen moved to Edmonton to attend the University of Alberta, where she earned her Teaching degree in 1952. It was during her first year of teaching in New Norway, Alberta that she met the love of her life, Stan Schultz. They married on July 13, 1957. Together, they welcomed their sons, Michael 'Mike' in 1960, William 'John' in 1961 and their daughter, Joanne in 1966.
Eileen enjoyed a full life of raising her kids and working which included teaching, secretarial work, Librarian Assistant, food entrepreneur and Executive Secretary to the Honourable Mr. John Oldring, Red Deer. Eileen and Stan enjoyed many wonderful years together with their family, their Woodward's family, and her condo friends and neighbours, as well as many other friends. Eileen loved all of her family and friends which, in her later years, included her condo friends and neighbours.
She lived every day with a smile and a chuckle, along with a little bit of feistiness. She loved most TV shows, especially The Young and the Restless, and sports, including curling, football, and Calgary Flames hockey. Socializing with friends was always on her agenda. They also were lucky to have travelled upon occasion to locations such as Hawaii, Alaska, Arizona and the Caribbean. They also enjoyed their weekend camping trips with their kids and grandkids.
Stan and Eileen were always delighted when children, grandchildren and great grandchildren visited, called and texted. Eileen lived a wonderful life, always putting the concerns of her family and friends above her own. Our hearts are heavy, but we are comforted in the fact that she is at peace and reunited with her beloved husband, Stan. She will be dearly missed.
Eileen will be lovingly remembered by her children, Mike, John, and Joanne (Tim) Mack; her three grandchildren, Baeley (Conor) MacDougall, Kasydi (Brad) Hamaluk, and Dalainey Mack (Evan Loranger); and her three great-grandchildren, Leo, Saege and Nash. She will also be sadly missed by her brothers, Oscar, Ray and Allan, as well as numerous other family and friends.
The family would like to thank Dr. McIntyre, all the staff at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre and at the Red Deer Hospice, for the wonderful care Eileen received!
