Shirley A. Schulte

Shirley Schulte, age 92, of Erlanger, Kentucky went to be with her Lord on Friday, August 26, 2022 – surrounded by her loving family. Shirley was born in Covington, Kentucky on June 12, 1930 to the late Charles and Rose Scheitz. She was a graduate of Notre Dame High School where she loved playing volleyball and built many lifelong friendships. After high school, Shirley enjoyed playing softball but switched to bowling and golf which she played until these last few years.  She also spent many decades camping and boating with her family and many friends.  Shirley, and her husband Stan, were very active parishioners at Mary Queen of Heaven, where they were founding members. She was a dedicated volunteer, which included starting the school cafeteria at Mary Queen of Heaven that she managed for over 40 years.  Throughout her life, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family and large group of friends. 

Shirley is preceded in death by her loving husband of over 65 years, Stanley Schulte, her siblings; Ralph “Bud” Scheitz, Lavern Whalen, and Blanche Hellmann.

She is survived by her children; Douglas (Jerri) Schulte, Kenneth (Kathy) Schulte, Lisa Schulte, Donna Schulte, and Pam Spitznagle, her grandchildren; Christina (Ralph) Rhodes, Deborah Schulte, Cheryl (Chris) Rayborn, and Stanley (Courtney) Schulte, and nine great grandchildren.
