Erlene W. Mayland was born on June 24, 1934, to Fred and Etta (Bruns) Mayland at their rural home in Britt, Iowa. She was baptized and was confirmed at First Lutheran Church in Britt. Erlene graduated from Britt High School in 1952. Following graduation, she worked at the Britt Pantorium.

On April 11, 1958, she was united in marriage to Franklin LeRoy Schutter. They made their home on the family farm adjacent to Immanuel Lutheran Church in rural Titonka, Iowa. Their union was blessed with three children: Anita, Marvin, and John. Her brother Herman Mayland lived with them for 18 years and was considered a part of this family. Erlene baked delicious, homemade angel food cakes for the special occasions of her family, friends, and others.

Her husband, Franklin, passed away March 12, 1982. Following his death, the family remained on the farm. She began working at the Titonka Care Center first as a dietary aid and then as a cook. She enjoyed creating intricate, delicate handwork of every nature, including quilting, crocheting, and embroidery. She worked at the quilt shop in Buffalo Center following her employment at the care center. In her spare time, Erlene took great pleasure in spending time with her sisters Marie Ann and Helen, brother-in-law, Hank, and her sister-in-law, Ina, playing cards and going on bus trips. She loved her grandchildren dearly and enjoyed attending all of their activities.

After a long struggle with cancer, Erlene passed away on Friday, January 13, 2012, in Hospice at the Kossuth Regional Health Center, Algona, Iowa. Left to cherish her memory are her children: Anita Jane Eden and husband Steven of rural Wesley, Marvin LeRoy Schutter and wife Janet of Spencer, John Franklin Schutter and wife Karla of rural Titonka; four grandchildren: Eric, Thomas, Christie, and Jeneé; brother Walbert Mayland, Sr.; sister Helen Gremmer and husband Henry; sister-in-law Ina Mayland; sister-in-law Beverly Mayland; sister-in-law and brother-in-law Agnes and Paul Christ; many nieces, nephews, and numerous friends.

Erlene was preceded in death by her parents; husband Franklin; siblings: Herman, William, Engaline, Jeanette, Ben, Henry Lewis, Donald, Ernest, and Marie Ann; sister-in-law Caroline Mayland; brothers-in-law: Stoffer Gremmer and John Wilson.
