A great lady. Her Faith was beyond measure. Our family knew her from St John the Baptist Parish.
I always enjoyed talking with her…. about anything. Her life example was inspiring to me.
My sympathy to all the Schulte Family.
My fondest memories are of Christmas nights at the Boesing home singing around the piano with Niecee playing and Eddie, Vivian, Bo & me along with others enjoying the Boesing hospitality. Bo & Vivian were 1st cousins. His mom, Isabel was a sister of Pauline. Bo died on 12/28/20. He was 10 years younger than Vivian. My deepest sympathy to all of you!
Such a great lady. She was a lot of fun. RIP Vivian. Our sympathies to her family.
From all of us at Winkings Market.
I remember Mrs. Schultz from St. John’s. Great lady from a wonderful family.
Dear Family,
I spoke to her at St. Rose about a month ago,
Matt brought her to church there many times.
I told her i was a good friend of Jerry Schutte who knew her a long time from St. Johns. A sweet heart and full of pep too.
Ill miss seeing her sit in front of me.
May God grant her peace.
Thanks for sharing her with us.
