To this union were born six children who survive her; LeRoy, Doris, Eugene, Marlene, Merle and Betty Jean, all at home. She is also survived by her father, Henry Schultz of St. Ansgar; also two sisters, Mrs. Esther Ehlke and Mrs. Alice Ehlke, both of St. Ansgar and one brother, Alvin Schultz of St. Ansgar.
