PHYLLIS SCHULTZ (nee COULTHART) Born November 4, 1922 in Kenville, MB Left her home town after high school to enroll in the School of Nursing. She graduated from Victoria General Hospital on May 24, 1945. She went on to assume duties as a registered nurse until 1959 when she accepted the position of Public Health Nurse with the Province of Manitoba. There she worked tirelessly until age 62 when she decided to retire. Phyllis married George Edward Schultz on May 24, 1946 and went on to have two daughters, Barbara Lynn and Elizabeth Lee. In her retirement she, along with husband George, enjoyed summers at their cabin at Brereton Lake and winters in Weslaco, Texas. While she enjoyed cooking and gardening and frequent gatherings with her Eastern Star sisters (Rainbow Chapter) it was her grandchildren and great grandchildren who brought the biggest twinkle to her crystal blue eyes and they in turn enjoyed her happy disposition and ready smile. Phyllis is survived by her husband George; sister Violet Coton; daughters, Barbara Worobey (husband Wayne Worobey), Elizabeth Wilson, granddaughters, Stacey Logan (husband Stephen Logan) and Marcey Worobey, great-granddaughters, Kerri-Lynn and Bailey Logan as well as many nieces and nephews.

He dreamed he was walking along a beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; one belonging to him and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of my life, there is only one set of footprints. I dont understand why when I need you the most you would leave me." The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you." THOMSON "IN THE PARK" FUNERAL HOME AND CEMETERY 1291 McGillivray Blvd. - 925-1120
