Heather L. Schultz

Heather "Rusty" Schultz, age 71, of Two Rivers, passed away peacefully at her home, Saturday, December 7, 2019, surrounded by her loving family. She was born January 27, 1948 in Milwaukee, WI, daughter of the late Charles Newton and Bridget Therese (Moran) Gray Jr.

Rusty graduated from Bayview High School, Bayview, WI, Class of 1966. She was trained as a caregiver and worked for various care giving facilities in the Milwaukee area, most recently at Sacred Heart . This job was perfect for Heather, as she embraced the role as caregiver in her career as well as at home.

Rusty was a talented cook and her family is fortunate to have all of her best recipes. She loved to crochet and make blankets and crocheted items for her friends and family, especially in Packer colors! Rusty was an avid Packer fan and loved to watch the games earlier in her life. First and foremost, she was a loving mother, proud grandma and great-grandma. Her kind and compassionate heart will be dearly missed by those she leaves behind. She always thought of others before herself.

Heather is survived by her 6 children: John Murray, Kim (Randy) Holtzclaw, Shannon (Bill) Puls, Bridget (Ricky) Baeckmann, Richard Hill Jr. and Shane Hill; 14 grandchildren; 5 great-grandchildren. She is further survived by sister-in-law, Susan (Herb) Kelly, brothers-in-law, Tim Hill and Patrick Elm, numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by a grandson, Joshua R. Murray and 3 siblings: Charles Newton Gray III, Laurie Lynn Elm and Lawrence Howard Gray.

A gathering and celebration of Rusty's life will be held at Newcomer-Green Bay Chapel (340 S. Monroe Ave., Green Bay, WI), Saturday, December 14, 2019 from 5 to 7 PM.

Heather's family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the team at Holy Family Memorial Hospice and Lucas at Holy Family Pharmacy, Harbortown Campus for their excellent care and compassion.
