Catherine G. Schultz (Cathy), nee Neja, 91, passed away Saturday, December 5, 2015 at Cedar Creek Manor, Mosinee, WI.
Catherine was born August 18, 1924, the oldest of Daniel and Marion Neja's four children. Catherine grew up, raised her children and worked in Milwaukee and Waukesha Counties. She was a retired Registered Representative for Aetna Insurance and proud to have started a career with them at age 55. Upon retirement Catherine moved to Marathon County in 1990.
Catherine was a committed sports fan who thoroughly enjoyed following her Packers and Brewers teams. She was avid golfer and liked to play baseball when the opportunity arose.
Catherine had numerous "canine loves" through the years starting with Taffy, a yellow lab, in the 1950's and concluding with Lacy, a Yorkshire Terrier, her "best friend and companion" at life's end.
Catherine also enjoyed traveling, cooking, gardening and reading. Her goal in life was to help people in her quiet way and to bring them closer to God.
Catherine was dearly loved and will be genuinely missed. She is survived by her son, Fred (Linda) Schultz, New Berlin, their three children, Tiffany (Jim) Meyers, Troy (Lisa) Schultz, Tory (Natalie) Schultz, her son Thomas (Mary) Schultz, Marathon, their three children, Elizabeth (Mike) Schultz-DeMark, Catherine Schultz, Matthew Schultz, 15 great grandchildren, one great great-grandchild, a sister Elizabeth Woest, Milwaukee and a brother Robert (Ann) Neja, West Bend as well as many other family and friends. She was preceded in death by a brother, Daniel Neja, sister in law, Betty Neja and her grandson, Trevor Schultz.
Catherine's family is at peace knowing she is in God's comforting arms.
