Barbara Schultz

She was born on July 8, 1943, in Norway, daughter of the late William and LaRayne (Nora) Helmer. On Oct. 9, 1959, she married the late Norbert Schultz at St. Mary Catholic Church in Hermansville.

Barbara greatly enjoyed helping others, which gave her the passion she had for over 20 years as a coordinator at the Hermansville Senior Center. She also helped and volunteered in many other aspects in her community. Barbara’s greatest love was spending time with all her grandchildren, especially her dearly loved great-grandchildren.

She is survived by two daughters: Cheryl (Dale) Graham and Michelle (Lance) Collins; six siblings, Donna Wickman, Paula (John) Holmes, Kara (Pete) Benda, Raymond (Kathy) Helmer, Beverly (Dean Hall) Helmer and Gary Helmer; two sisters-in-law, Lisa Bruette and Nancy Erickson; six grandchildren, Nicholas (Bailey) Graham, Kristin (Gordy) Busick, Richard (Geri) Graham, Bradley (Hannah) Lauscher, Stephanie (Steve) Lauscher and Kayla Salter; nine great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Barbara was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Norbert; a daughter, Leigh Ann; two brothers, Eric and Charles “Chum”; a sister, Sandra; and a son-in-law, Thomas Nelson.
