Feerick Funeral Home - Shorewood Obituary

Passed away peacefully on January 9, 2019 surrounded by her loving family. Maggy was born on March 29, 1966 in Milwaukee. Raised in Whitefish Bay, Maggy graduated from Whitefish Bay High School and attended the University of Minnesota where she met her wonderful husband of 28 years, Paul Schultz. Maggy was the loving mother of her adoring children, Gretta and Joseph. She was the devoted daughter of William and Priscilla Zito, treasured sister to William Jr. (Julie), Liza, Chris, and Ali. She was the wonderful aunt to Benjamin, Nicholas and Grace Bratrud; Jack and Mary Schultz; and Frankie, Gigi and Billy Zito. Maggy is further survived by her mother-in-law Barbara Schultz (Ron Verdoorn), sister-in-law Susan Bratrud, and brother-in-law Mark (Lori). Maggy was preceded in death by her father-in-law Leo Schultz, brother-in-law Mark Bratrud, and her grandparents Ann and William Zito and Margaret and Frank McCormack.

Maggy celebrated life with a vivacious spirit and a huge heart that touched the lives of all who knew her. Maggy loved to throw parties, was a wonderful cook, list maker extraordinaire, loved the beach, was a master gardener and was happiest when she was surrounded by her family and many friends. Maggy loved her life; she truly considered herself the luckiest person she knew. She gave of herself generously throughout her life, working for her community and many charitable organizations, most especially the We Care Fund for Medical Innovation and Research for The Medical College of Wisconsin Department of Surgery.

Not sure what to say?

I'm sitting here watching the Columbus Blue Jackets & had an overwhelming urge to look you up Maggy. My heart sank when I found this. You are flying high with the angels. You are truly an angel. For the brief moment I had the honor & privlidge of caring for you, you touched me deeply. I have thought of you often over this past year. Maggy's family, my deepest condolences to you all. I pray her beautiful spirit lives in all of you forever.

My parents and I have had the greatest admiration for Maggie's parents and family and prayers for her success with her cancer therapy from the moment of diagnosis. It was was only in recent years that I meet her- radiant joy and beauty and sparks of unlimited love from the presence of her parents. The dearest image i have of arrival in heaven is then saints and angels lining the arrival road and cheering her arrival with the loudest of joy. Her parents, her siblings, children and husband, I...

I just heard of our collective loss. My most heartfelt thoughts & prayers to Schultzy, the kids and the rest of the clan. They broke the mold when they made Maggy. There is now a hole in the universe. She will be greatly missed.

Schultzy, I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your kids as well as the whole Schultz/Zito families.

Wishing the Schultz's family much peace and comfort knowing the great legacy Maggie left. What a great example of passion and a spirit that never gave up! She'll be missed.
Sincerely,
Patti Moore Benson

Schultz Family, I am sorry for your loss. Maggy was a great resource for me as I began coaching soccer for the Nicolet Kickers. Her skills at organizing were amazing and greatly appreciated. Maggy will be missed.

My deepest sympathies. Maggie was a wonderful lady who could light up a room! She will be deeply missed!! Rest easy my friend.

I worked with Mags one summer at Summerfest and had the time of my life knowing her! I was fortunate enough to then go to the U with her - always great running into her on campus. Larger than life with a wonderful smile and laugh, that was Mags.
