Carol Sue Schultz, beloved mother, sister, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family on July 12th, 2023, at age 75.
She was born in Findlay, Ohio on March 6, 1948, and spent her formative years in North Baltimore, Ohio. Carol, affectionately known as Sue, was the daughter of Mearl and Lois Atkins, both of whom preceded her in death. Sue was one of six and came from a large and loving family. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Tom, and Jim Atkins. Her surviving siblings are her sisters, Kay Gonyer of Ft. White, Florida, Janie Stephens of Frisco, Texas, and Becky Rister of West Palm Beach, Florida. Sue’s family was a source of strength and support throughout her life. She was affectionately known as Aunt Sue to many nieces and nephews.
Sue was blessed with two children from her previous marriage to Tony Snyder. Her son Brad Snyder resides in North Carolina, while her daughter Molly (Snyder) Roth lives in Wooster, Ohio. Sue cherished her role as a mother and was immensely proud of her children’s accomplishments and the individuals they had become.
Sue was lucky to find love twice in her life and married her late husband Bill Schultz Jr. Bill sadly passed away on October 4, 2020. Her marriage to Bill brought her three wonderful stepchildren, Bill Schultz, Karen (Schultz) Sweeney, and Eric Schultz, who she loved as her own.
Her grandchildren, Hannah (Sanchez) Schonfeld, Leah Sanchez, Anna Schultz, Lilly Schultz, Grace Sweeney, Liam Sweeney, Jessica Schultz, Christian Schultz, Daniel Schultz, and Katie Schultz were the apple of Sue’s eye. She loved them dearly and found immense joy in watching them grow and experience life’s wonders.
Sue’s life was enriched by her deep love for sports and outdoor activities. She had a passion for tennis, pickleball, and enjoyed the beauty of beach sunsets. Sue’s adventurous spirit led her to explore various travel destinations around the world, alongside her late husband.
Sue dedicated 30 years of her career to the Wooster Community Hospital, where she worked in the Emergency Room Admitting department. She was a dedicated professional who provided compassionate care to those in need. Her commitment to her work touched the lives of countless individuals and made a lasting impact in her community.
Throughout her life, Sue embraced every moment with a positive and loving spirit. Her infectious smile and warm personality brought comfort and joy to those around her. She will be remembered for her kind heart, unwavering support, and genuine love for her family and friends.
Friends will be received Sunday, July 16th, 2023, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm at the McIntire, Bradham & Sleek Funeral Home, 216 E. Larwill St., Wooster, Ohio. A funeral service to follow will be held at 4:30pm with Eric Fairhurst officiating. Family and friends are invited to attend and share their memories and stories of a remarkable woman who brought light into the lives of so many.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Sue’s memory to Ohio’s LifeCare Hospice. These contributions will continue her legacy of kindness and generosity, extending support to those in need.
Sue will be deeply missed but forever cherished in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. May her soul rest in eternal peace.

We only knew Sue (and Bill) for very short time. In retirement years, we enjoyed so many fun times at Hidden Dunes, Destin, Fl. Even in the past couple of years, we shared fun comments on Saturdays during football games. Sympathy, prayers, and peace to the family.
She will be missed. We loved hearing her laughter when Sam would be telling one of his jokes. She was blessed with a wonderful family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Sue was a Ray of sunshine. Always smiling and ready to have a chat and enjoy your company!

Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. Sue was a great school friend growing up. God bless her family and may she rest in peace.
Sue and I played Words with Friends for years and I didn’t realize she was ill. Always with a smile and would run into she and Bill at church. They were such a happy couple; enjoying each other so. Although I didn’t know Sue well we always talked when we saw each other. I am so sorry for the family who has lost such a lovely person.

Sue was a great friend and tennis buddy. My deepest condolences to her family. I have missed playing tennis with her and will continue to miss her. May she rest in the arms of Jesus our Lord.
Our thoughts are with Sue’s entire family and friends that mourn her passing. We have know Sue for many years through our time at Hidden Dunes and we spent time with both Bill and Sue on the tennis and pickleball court and off. We miss them both.
My deepest sympathy to the family. I stayed 18 winters at Hidden Dunes and had the opportunity to appreciate Sue as a great lady and a very good tennis player. May she rest in peace.
So many fun memories with Sue from our “football mom’s” activities & potluck dinners when sons Brad & Brad & Todd were in high school!
Prayers of strength & comfort to Brad, Molly & entire family. ❣️🙏🏼
Sue was a great lady who will be sadly missed. The whole family is in our thoughts and prayers.🙏🏻❤️
Whoever wrote that obituary did a beautiful job of describing this amazing woman.
She was my high school girlfriend and she never lost her beautiful smile or her zest for life. I spoke with and or saw her her each time I visited Ohio in the last 20 years or so . She was always charming and engaging. After she met and married Bill she seemed very happy. His untimely death was a genuine tragedy in her life.
She loved her children and loved being a grandmother.
Rest in peace my friend.
You are gone from this earth, but will always be in my great memories.
We lived 3 doors down from Sue and the Snyders my whole childhood. Molly is one of my oldest and dearest friends. Sue was *always* kind and loving, like a second mom to all of us kids in the neighborhood. She was even kind when she caught me and her exchange student kissing upstairs. She laughed and told me, “Good grief, Shawn — get home.” I still laugh at that story 30 years later.
I have many fond memories growing up with the Snyders. She raised a son and daughter that, without exaggeration, are among the best people I’ve ever known. That’s a great credit to Sue in my eyes. She will be so missed. My condolences to all who loved her.
Brad &Molly , So sorry to hear about your mom first meet at the hospital then at football moms very special lady. RIP Sue
Sue was a loving mom. So sorry to hear of her passing. Such fond memories of her involvement with “football moms” so many years ago. Prayers

Saddened to learn of Sue’s passing…Jeff & I have many fond memories of high school years & activities with her at NBHS.
I have known Sue for years. Played cards with her and eventually had dinners with her and our friends. She always talked about Brad and Molly, so proud of them. I’m sorry she passed too soon.
Sue was a classmate of mine at NBHS; Prayers to her family & friends.
Oh my goodness! Thus is terribly sad. What great memories I have of us and our high school years . She was a very dear friend and so full of life!!!!! Always smiling and great at playing tennis…she loved that!
