Later in life her goal was to complete twelfth grade and was proud to receive her high school GED equivalency in 1992 at the age of 69. On May 1, 1947 Gertrude married Norman H. Schultz at the St. Paul Lutheran Church, Monona and became the mother of two children born to this union. Gert spent sixty-six years on the farm with Norman, helping with all aspects of farm responsibilities and tending to her homestead, livestock, field work, flower and vegetable gardens and loved watching the birds and squirrels that would feast from the feeders. She enjoyed cooking, baking and sewing for her family. Her tradition was making the dessert, Cherries in the Snow, for every Christmas dinner. She surprised her family members with wonderfully decorated cakes on their birthdays and for other special events. She was very devoted in her faith and was active in St. Paul church groups and activities until her health decline. Her favorite pastime was spending time with her six grandchildren and her great-granddaughter. While living at the Ossian Senior Hospice, she was known as, “Gertie and her smile”. Gert was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Norman H. (June 7, 2013); a brother and sister-in-law, Marvin and Lillian Ball; a sister, Vernelle Hornberger and brothers-in-law, Robert L.
