A Lutheran, Mrs. Schultz came to Spokane in 1903 with her husband Mr. Schultz, an early-day blacksmith here, who died in 1939.
She was honored on her 104th birthday with a reception at the nursing home in January. Although she could not hear the messages, birthday congratulations letters were read from President Jimmy Carter, President elect, Ronald Regan, Govs. John Evans of Idaho and Albert Quie of Minnesota, and Sens. James McClure and Steve Symms.
Survivors include one daughter-in-law, Myrna Spiger, Spokane Valley; and two granddaughters, Mrs. John (June) Syverson of Greenacres and Mrs. Larry (Jacqueline) Kreyssler, Otis Orchards. Her three sons were Jessie, who died as an infant; Norbert Wilfred, who died in 1976, and Arlie T., who died in 1979.
