Earl V. Schultz was born on April 13, 1917 to William J. and Alma (Wagner) Schultz in Easton, MN. He attended school through the 8th grade. Earl took a job driving truck when he was a teenager. This job readied him for his future, as he joined the Army during WWII and was a truck driver during his time in the military. Following his discharge, he returned to the area and found a job working at Queen Stove Works as a metal fabricator. On April 25, 1952, he was united in marriage to Virginia (Beighley) in Albert Lea, where the couple eventually called home.
Earl was a member at St. Theodore Catholic Church. He was also a member of the VFW and American Legion, where he lent his assistance as a member of the local Honor Guard. In his free time he enjoyed bowling, hunting, fishing, billiards, horseshoes, and cheering on the Minnesota Twins.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Virginia; parents, William J. and Alma; and siblings, Harold Schultz, Cecilia Schultz, Pearl Grams, Margaret Moore, and Gertrude McMullen.
He is survived by his daughter, Jacquelyn L. Butterfield, of Savage, MN; grandchildren, Douglas (fiancée Ginny) Ruzicka, of Maple Grove, MN, Todd Ruzicka, of Maple Grove, MN, and Bobbi Higgins, of Savage, MN; great-grandchildren, Alexander Higgins, Tristen Ruzicka, Trevor Ruzicka, and Evan Higgins; siblings, Beatrice Schreiber, of Cottage Grove, OR, and William "Buddy" (Eleanor) Schultz, of Fridley, MN; along with many nieces, nephews and extended relatives.
