Obituary For Elwood (Woody) Schultz
August 10, 1938 – October 29, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Elwood (Woody) Schultz on October 29th, 2024 at the Grande Prairie Regional Hospital.
He was born in Fawcett, AB on August 10th, 1938 to Edward and Clara Schultz. He attended Blue Hill School, before moving to Grande Prairie at the age of 17 to work for the Imperial Lumber Company. While living in Grande Prairie he met the love of his life, Marie Wold of Fourth Creek, AB, whom he married on May 11th, 1963. The two of them were blessed with two loving daughters, and together they made their home in Fourth Creek where they farmed for the next forty years.
During his time on the farm, Woody was an active member of the Fourth Creek Community and enjoyed many activities including playing softball for the Fourth Creek Flyers, curling, square dancing, playing cards, as well as many outdoor activities.
Woody and Marie moved to Grande Prairie in 2005. Retirement proved to be active, as their plain backyard soon gave way to a small garden which quickly expanded to take up a quarter of the yard. His garage became a woodworking space where he crafted bird houses, baptismal boxes, and wishing wells. He also enjoyed watching a variety of sports.
Woody is survived by his wife Marie, of 61 years; his daughter Darlene (Kevin) Bathgate and their children Cora (Dan) and son Kevin, Brad (Epiphany) and daughter Elowen; and his daughter Carolyn (Darrell) Fredland and their children David (Alexandra), Scott (Bailey). He also leaves behind his siblings, Stan, Jean, Ervin (Frances), Judy (Henry), Gordie (Florence), and sister-in-law Joyce, as well as many loving nieces and nephews.
His memorial will be held at Trinity Lutheran Church, in Grande Prairie AB, on Friday, November 8th, 2024, at 11:00am. A live stream of Woody’s service will be available below.
If so desired, donations can be given to the charity of your choice. Woody’s wishes though, would be for you to hug someone you love or for those of you who knew him best, give them “the claw”.
