Helen A. Schultz, 95, of Winneconne, formerly of Neillsville and Boom Bay, died Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, at Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh.

She was born Sept. 28, 1920, in Neillsville, number five of nine children, to the late John and Louise (Mazur) Kaczor. Helen married Leon J. Schultz May 29, 1943. They moved from Chicago to the Neillsville area in 1949, where they farmed for about 30 years. Upon retirement, Helen and Leon moved to Boom Bay. In 1987, Leon preceded her in death, after which she built a home in Winneconne.

Helen enjoyed gardening, bowling, sewing, crocheting and knitting, and she rarely lost a game of cards. She was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Winneconne.
