Thelma (Steinbrink) Schultz was born Feb. 28, 1937 to George and Ethel 
(Taylor) Steinbrink, south of Eustis.  She was baptized June 27, 1943 and 
confirmed April 6, 1952 in the Methodist Church.  One of eight children, the 
family moved to Loomis in 1943.  Thelma started first grade at Rubien Country 
School.  This school merged with Loomis School when she entered fourth grade, 
she then graduated from Loomis High School in 1955.  Life on the farm provided 
many opportunities, lessons for the future, a solid work ethic and a very 
happy childhood.  Activities in high school included being a class officer, 
playing volleyball, school plays and pep club to name a few.

After graduation, Thelma went to Lincoln to attend the Lincoln Business 
College for several months.  A job with CNPP and ID in Hastings followed until 
1957 when she moved to Denver to work for GMAC until 1958.  From 1958 to 1960 
Thelma was employed with the Martin Co., which had opened a huge research 
center for the Titan Missile.  While working at Martin Co. as a secretary, she 
met Bill Schultz, another employee.  Bill and Thelma were married June 5, 1960 
at the Methodist Church in Loomis and moved in August of that year to 
Stillwater, Okla.  

This marriage was blessed with four daughters:  Amy (Phil) Minnick of Hardin, 
Mont., Anita (Kevin) Bricker of Aurora, Jenny Schultz of Denver and Sarah 
(Monte) Malzahn of Sidney. 
 
Thelma graduated from Panhandle State College at Goodwell, Okla., in 1974.  
She enjoyed almost 20 years of teaching third, forth and fifth grades in 
Lexington Public Schools.  She was a member of local, state and national 
education associations.  Thelma spent many years being involved in genealogy 
research which led to membership in DAR for herself, a daughter and a niece.

She was very active in her church and the LWML and served several years on the 
church board of education.

Joining her children as survivors include 10 grandchildren, Caleb (Bonnie) 
Minnick, Mallory, Jordan and Shelby Minnick, Eli, Gretchen and Sophie Bricker, 
Allyson, Ethan and Madison Malzahn; three great-grandchildren, Lily, Benjamin 
and Eli Minnick; a sister, Betty Klepper of Scottsbluff; a sister-in-law, June 
Steinbrink of Holdrege; three brothers, Eldon (Pauline) Steinbrink of Loomis, 
Rex (Twyla) Steinbrink of Trenton and Paul (Diane) Steinbrink of Kearney; a 
sister-in-law, Ruth Ann Schultz of Albuquerque, N.M. and many nieces and 
nephews also survive.

brothers, infant Claude, Lloyd and Roger; a sister-in-law, Mitzi Steinbrink 
and two brothers-in-law, Pat Klepper and Bob Schultz.
