Arlene A. Schulz, 84, passed away at her residence, on Wednesday, November 28, 2018, surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Cambridge, WI, on December 22, 1933, the daughter of the late Lloyd E. and Edna (nee: Latsch) Strasburg.
After graduating from Lake Mills High School in 1951, she received a B.S. Degree in Early Childhood- Kindergarten Education from U.W.-Milwaukee in 1955. On August 10, 1957, in the Moravian Church, in their hometown of Lake Mills, she was united in marriage to David Schulz. From this union came two children, Philip and Ann. Their immediate family grew larger when their two granddaughters, Olivia and Natalie, were born.
Arlene taught in the Racine Unified School District for over 25 years. Through the years, Arlene remained a dedicated educator. She was a Fifty-Year Member of the American Association of University Women. She was an active member of the Lutheran Church of the Resurrection, participating in its Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, choir, and various other organizations. Arlene was a Life Member of the Tri Sigma Social Sorority, and a longtime volunteer with the V.I.P. Program at Ascension-All Saints Hospital.
Surviving are her devoted husband of 61 years, David; their children, Philip Schulz, of Sparta, and Ann Schulz, of Racine; two loving granddaughters, Olivia and Natalie; three sisters, Phyllis George, of Madison, Joan Allinder, of Cadillac, MI, and Jeralin McFarland, of Sauk City. Her nieces, nephews, church family, and many dear friends also survive her.

Condolences to you, David, and to Philip and Ann. As a former neighbor of yours from Geraghty Estates, I remember Mrs. S. well and how she liked to garden and play her autoharp.

I’m so sorry for your loss. Arlene was such a sweet and caring woman. I’ll never forget when I would schedule appointments for her she would always ask me about my daughter because they shared the same birthday. She never forgot!
I will miss you!

So sorry for your lose. I worked with Arlene in the kindergarten class at Holy Name. Every year I would see her at the Kiwanis dinner raffle and we always joked about our once a year meeting. A lovely and gracious lady!
