Sheila R Schultz

Sheila R. Schultz, born on March 14, 1950, at Jewish Hospital, passed away on September 10, 2025, at the age of 75, after a long period of deteriorating health. She is preceded in death by her father and mother, Dr. Samuel and Evelyn (Zuckerman) Schultz and her brothers, Harold Schultz and Scott Schultz.

Sheila spent most of her life in University City, graduating from University City High School with the highest honors, and then moving on to Washington University. She was wildly talented and creative, with a true passion for dance and music. After her father passed away, Sheila embarked on the adventure of her lifetime – packing up her car and moving to Northern California. There she taught dance and immersed herself in the creative scene of the area. Later she returned to her native U City, where she remained active in the local art, music, theatre, and dance community. Sheila was a well-regarded theatre critic and loved the energy of creative people.

One of her most profound achievements was the publication of a musical theatre piece based on the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes. Schools around the country still perform it to this day.

Celebrating the Jewish holidays with family was among her most cherished traditions. She always insisted on bringing gifts for the kids and demanded (!) to see pictures of their special moments.

Sheila leaves behind her beloved family and friends, as well as her adored cat. May her memory be a blessing forever.
