Obituary for Fred Schulz
Fredrick “Fred” Schulz, 92, died Saturday, March 3, 2018 in his beloved hometown of Quincy,
Washington.
Born on March 25, 1925 to Johann and Mary Schulz, Fred grew up as the last of the 12
children in what is one of Quincy’s pioneering families. Baptized and confirmed in the Quincy
Pioneer Church, Fred continued his faith at St. Paul Lutheran Church all his life.
Looking back, Fred was an avid, and talented, basketball and baseball player who graduated
from Quincy High School where he went on to work various jobs. During that time, Fred met,
and married, his wife Gloria in 1948, and together went on to raise three children.
Fred had an unwavering faith in the Lord, and instilled his belief in his entire family on a daily basis.
In the early 1950’s, Fred went on to find his true calling when together with his brother Paul, the
two brothers elected to pursue dry land farming. By the mid 1950’s, Fred saw the dream of his
life, and his father’s life, come to fruition as irrigation came to the Columbia Basin. Along with
irrigation farming, Fred pursued more dry land farming in 1978 in the Trinidad area and
continued to farm which was the love of his life. Fred would tell you that he witnessed a
significant lifetime of change in the farming industry from horses to modern day technology.
In 1964, Fred was named “Farmer of the Year,” and from 1971 through 1979 served as a
director on the Quincy School Board. Fred also served on the Golden Valley Water Board.
Coffee days were a vital part of Fred’s life from "The Turf" to McDonald’s, and Fred was a
staunch WSU Cougar fan!
Fred leaves behind his wife, Gloria; daughter Lana (Glenn) Wiley of Burlington, WA, daughter
Gail (James) Omlin of Quincy, WA and son Keevin (Karen) Schulz of Quincy, WA; nine
grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren.
Fred was preceded in death by his parents, Johann and Mary; nine brothers and two sisters.
A celebration of life service will be held Friday, March 9, 2018 at 11am at the Pioneer Church, 415 F Street SW, Quincy, WA. Memorials can be made to Quincy Historical Society.
