Mary Margaret Schulte

Mary Margaret Schulte, 90, of Aviston, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at St. Joseph Hospital in Breese. She was born on October 17, 1935, in Aviston, the daughter of Bernard and Catherine, nee Fuhler, Von Bokel. She married Don Schulte October 27, 1956 and he preceded her in death on March 10, 2003.

Mary Margaret lived a life marked by dedication to her family and a passion for sewing, quilting, and spending joyful moments playing bingo.

Throughout her years, Mary was known not only for her skillful handiwork but also for the warmth and kindness she extended as a homemaker. Her love for her family was a guiding force in her life, and she cherished the time spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Mary is survived by her loving children: Gary; Rick (Michele); Lynn (Jon) Lundstrom; Donna (Dale Tebbe); Joyce (Mark) Olliges; and Bill Schulte. Her legacy lives on through eight grandchildren—Nikki, Alex, Clinton, Bret, Heather, Ellen, Jessica, and Madison—and ten great-grandchildren: Morgan, Mason, Ryder, Madden, Harper, Monroe, Shiloh, Jace, Easton, and Dorothy "Dot." She also leaves behind her sister Elizabeth "Betty" Von Bokel and sister-in-law Mary Bulhofner, along with numerous nieces and nephews who treasured her presence.

In addition to her husband and parents, Mary was preceded in death by her siblings and their spouses: Ferdinand and Helen, Paul and Bernice, Robert "Bob" and Dolores, Ralph and Mary Jane, and Bernard Von Bokel.
