Born and raised in Chicago, Illinois by the late Walter and Helen Szczesny Schultz, Mary Ellen raised her children there, as well. Moving to Arkansas did not change her heart- she still rooted for the Chicago Cubs, the Bears, and Green Bay Packers- unless, of course, they were playing the Bears.
Mary Ellen’s greatest joy was her family. Nothing made her happier than being wife to Harold; mom to Andrew, Alex and Stephanie; nana to Joey and Kayla; godmother to Regina; and sister to Jack, Andy, and Lisa. She was the well-loved cousin, niece, and friend to so many.
Her stubbornness, strength, and determination continues to inspire those who were blessed enough to know her.
Mary Ellen’s family finds comfort knowing she is at peace- enjoying Heaven and the perfect cup of coffee with her late parents; beloved Uncle Joe; and sweet son, Andrew, whom they lost four years ago.
