Florence Amanda Schultz

Schultz, Florence A. Age 85, died Saturday, May 22, 2021 with family after her health declined while living in a memory care facility in Buffalo, MN. Florence was born in 1935, in Giese, MN, a small farming community, to Elsie [Schultz] and Herbert Fenske. The second child in a family of 14 children, Florence graduated from McGrath High School. After graduation, she moved to Minneapolis and started working. She was a dedicated employee at several businesses throughout her lifetime, including Brinkton, Courtier Electric, and Shriners Children's Hospital. Florence often spoke of her early years in Minneapolis fondly, recalling social events that involved music and dancing. Florence met Roger W. Schultz while she was working in Minneapolis, and they were married June 29, 1957. Together they raised three children; Gregory, and twins Jeffrey and Beth. The children's sports activities kept the family busy, but family members remember always having dinner together even if practice and competitions went late. Outside of their family commitments, Roger and Florence served their community. They were involved in the Exchange Club of Minneapolis for several years. They were active in the Church of St. Edward's Catholic community in Bloomington. Attending mass and volunteering at church were important to Florence, and she devoted thousands of hours to the church. Roger and Florence were also volunteers for several years with Loaves and Fishes, an organization focused on serving meals, and providing kindness and comfort to the homeless. Florence helped at the Minnesota Masonic Home, modeling service to others when she brought her grandchildren along. Florence will be remembered for her love of immediate and also extended family, where nieces and nephews were so important to her. She attended family reunions regularly and especially enjoyed holidays with the relatives. Qualities that endeared Florence to many people were her faith and love of God, her strong work ethic, and her spirited polka dancing. Florence enjoyed planting and tending a large garden, and she was also an excellent cook. Zucchini grown in her garden was used to bake many loaves of bread shared with others. Florence was preceded in death by both parents and infant son Thomas; husband Roger; son Gregory; grandson Max; and siblings Elwood, Roland, Leon, Lowell, Myron, Dwayne and Dennis. She is survived by children Beth and Jeff; grandchildren Dustin (Taylor) Ostien, Quin Schultz, Cooper (Lizzy) Schultz, Liesl Schultz, Zachary Schultz, Nicholas Schultz, Jordan [Gunelson] Reisdorph; and great grandchildren William Reisdorph and Max Reisdorph. During the second half of her life, Florence spent time with special friend Bud Weed, who also preceded her in death. Siblings left to celebrate the life of their sister include Dorothy Fenske, Lorna (Dallas) Leier, Joyce (Bruce) Stecker, Donna Fenske and Curtis (Janice) Fenske. Funeral will be held at St. Edward's Church at 11am, private family viewing from 10am - 10:30am Friday, June 4, 9401 Nesbitt Ave. S., Bloomington MN.
