I want to give my deepest sympathy to Mary's family. Mary and I worked together at AT&T/SBC/Ameritech for several years. I always enjoyed working with her. She was very pleasant to work with and to talk to. The Lord has taken her home to rest now, what a beautiful angel He has now in heaven with Him. My prayers are with all of you and God bless you all.

My deepest sympathy to Mary's family. I worked with Mary many years ago at the Phone Company. I've always enjoyed her company and talks we used to have.

My deepest sympathies to everyone in the Schultz family. I worked with Mary for many years at the Phone Co., and always knew her to be a very loving and helpful person. I will always treasure the time I spent with Mary and David before they were married, helping them to pick out some of the music/hymns for their wedding. Mary is now out of pain and at peace, and she is in a much better place - in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She will truly be missed by all those near and dear to her.

Mary was a wonderful, conscientious and pleasant coworker at AT&T. In my experiences working with her, she was very friendly and thorough. She will be dearly missed by myself and everyone who knew her.
