Deborah Schultz Obituary

Visit the Pagenkopf Funeral Home website to view the full obituary.

Deborah Kay Schultz, age 61, passed away peacefully on January 13, 2026. Deb was born in Denver, Colorado.

Deb is survived by her husband Darrell; brother Jeff (Angela) Amans; sister Cristi (Al) Dorsett; and many other friends and family. She is preceded in death by her parents Delbert and Maxine Amans.

Deb had a love for life and people. She had a personality with a spark that would leave a lasting impression on anyone she met. She also had a love for animals that had no boundaries. Deb had a passion for power sports that would include but not limited to: offshore boats, back country snowmobiling, sand rails and motorcycles.

She had a zest for life and passion to back it up. In her 27 years marriage to Darrell, there wasn’t much time to rest, but when she did, she was just as content curling up with a good book. She loved and cherished every moment in her life and made lasting memories and impressions on everyone who knew her.

Deb was a small person with a huge heart that one could only dream of meeting once in a lifetime and had a kind spirit that will be remembered for eternity.

In lieu of flowers, memorials to a charity of your choice or to the Wildlife In Need Center in Oconomowoc in Deb’s name are welcome.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
