Florence Schatz Obituary
on Sept 7 2025. Born march 15 1932 in Oshkosh to Elizabeth Hansetter and Chester Kilbey. She was first a nurturing mother of 8, later a preschool teacher, then a nurses-aid, and in retirement a gracious volunteer at Paine art center and later at Omro Care center.
One of her greatest gifts was her incredible talent as an artist (painter) sharing her many works with family and friends. She continued her hobby right up to her last days.
Preceded in death by her parents, husband Sig and step-son Travis Schatz. She is survived by children Dennis Michels, Dean Michels (Gloria), Leanne Kinderman, Lynn Kershisnik (Allen), Amy Krumenauer (Rick), Laurie Pieper (Dr. David), David Michels (Cindy), Kay Goode (Dave).
Sister Connie and Dave Friedel, Sarah Friedel, Along with 20 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren.
She will be cherished for her kind, good-natured and giving personality. Her spirit and endearing legacy will live on forever in the hearts of those who knew her.
We would like to give a special thank you to those who allowed her to stay in her own home; Amy Madsen for her loving care, hospice nurse Whitney, and CNA Erika for their wonderful care. There will be no formal service and she will be interred at Lakeview Memorial Park.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a gift to Omro Community Center 1005 E Main St. Omro WI. 54963 for a memorial in her name.
