She was named for Marjorie (Stryker) Edgington, a country school teacher who had boarded with her parents. Marjorie attended Sand Valley Country School through 8th grade across the road from the farm where she lived since age eight, west of Callaway. She then attended Callaway High School where she graduated in 1952 as Valedictorian. Having taken normal teacher training during high school, Marjorie taught at a country school west of Callaway for a year after graduating in order to save money to go to college. She then attended Kearney State College to become a teacher. Marjorie filled in for a teacher on maternity leave in January 1955 in Cozad. She taught 1st grade at Cozad for a year and a half. She had planned to take a teaching job in Minden, but met the love of her life, Alex W. Schneider of Cozad. They were married August 11, 1956 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Callaway. Marjorie taught 4th grade in Cozad for another year before she and Alex moved home to Marjorie’s family farm west of Callaway.&nbsp;

Marjorie was a substitute teacher at Callaway Elementary School for several years after she retired. Marjorie was also a voracious reader.

In 1986, Alex and Marjorie received the Nebraska Pioneer Farm Award from Knights of AK-SAR-BEN honoring the Edward Smith Homestead, whose family owned the same farm for 100 years, thus contributing a century of loyal service to the development of Nebraska agriculture.

Marjorie and Alex enjoyed fishing and socializing with their friends at Van’s Lakeview at Lake McConaughy until 2019. Marjorie received Master Angler awards for catching a qualifying white bass in 1995 and walleye in 1999. Alex and Marjorie also enjoyed traveling across the United States as well as to Mexico, El Salvador, Rome and Germany.

&nbsp;After her husband Alex passed away Marjorie moved to Park Ridge Assisted Living in Grant, NE to be closer to her daughters. She enjoyed getting cards, letters, phone calls and visits from friends and family. She liked to watch Husker Volleyball and Let’s Make A Deal on TV. Marjorie was a lifetime member of St. Boniface Catholic Church and the Callaway American Legion Auxiliary Post 59.

TIMOTHY H. SCHULZ, 62, of Ogallala, passed away on August 5, 2024, at the Methodist Hospital of Omaha.

Tim was born January 4, 1962, in Sidney, Nebraska, to Henry and Louise (Pieper) Schulz. He graduated from Ogallala High School. He briefly attended UNL, where he studied engineering.

On October 23, 1982, Tim married Mindy Mueller at St. Luke's Catholic Church in Ogallala. The couple made their home in Ogallala and were blessed with two girls: Timarie and Tiffany.

Tim worked as a truck driver and mover for Chief Transfer and Storage for a number of years. The company was owned by his parents, and Tim appreciated the time he spent with them over the years. In 2002, Tim became disabled, and his health necessitated a change of pace.

Tim loved his family and grandchildren immensely. He was an avid outdoorsman. He loved to hunt and fish with his dogs. He had a gentle heart and a great love of animals. He had a particular soft spot for dogs and always kept one or two hunting dogs. Tim also had many horses over the years and loved to spend time riding. He enjoyed swimming, boating, and skiing and always treasured his time spent at the lake, whether for the weekend or just sneaking away for part of the day to go windsurfing.

Tim was a member of St. Luke's Catholic Church, where he had served as a lector and was a member of the Knights of Columbus before his health issues.

Tim was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Mindy, in 2019; his parents and parents-in-law; brother-in-law Jonathan Proudfit; sister-in-law Barb Mueller; and niece, Jessica Eidem.

Survivors include his daughters, Timarie (Ryan) Tushner of Fremont and Tiffany Schulz (Adam Heiden) of Lincoln; grandchildren Tanner, Timberlin, Teakyn, and Tyla Tushner; siblings, Liz (Steve) Johnson of Burwell, Barb Schulz of Omaha, and Ernie (Kelly) Schulz of Ozark, MO; along with several nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Isabelle raised all 6 girls on her own with the help of her family and her faith.

Isabelle was involved in Catholic Daughters and Altar Society, Sewing for Babies and Quilts of Valor. She volunteered with Hospice and the Broken Bow Hospital Rummage Sale. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting and sewing and her beautiful work will continue to be enjoyed by so many. Isabelle enjoyed jigsaw puzzles and was a wonderful piano player.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Billy, his parents, Roy and Ruby; brothers, Bob, Gene and Roger Brestel, sister Elizabeth Mae Brestel; Grandson Cole Arnold and Great Granddaughter Leyna Gilligan. Also preceding her were sisters-in-law Mary Jane Brestel and Darla Brestel, brothers-in-law, Eldon, Nick and Terry Troy McCandless.

She is survived by her loving daughters: BJ (Rod) Baxter, Pamela (Ben) Gilligan, Louise (Tyke) Arnold, Cynthia (Paul) Christen, Julie (Jerry) McCaslin and Peggy (Jeff) Steele.

Isabelle is also survived by 26 grandchildren, 63 great grandchildren, 24 great-great grandchildren and a host of nieces and nephews.

Isabelle’s home was always filled with joy, humor, great food, sewing and sports. She enjoyed every moment and took life as it came. Her hugs were calming, reassuring and tight. Think of her laugh and smile when you hear a great joke or a kind quote and if you catch a great baseball, football or volleyball game or watch an old movie. Isabelle touched the lives of hundreds who feel honored to have known her. Her faith, love, strength, courage and the legacy she leaves behind is unforgettable. Remember all of the little things that made Isabelle one-of-a-kind, and she’ll live on as we do.&nbsp;
