Florence M. Schatz was born on March 9, 1914 on the family farm east of Menno, South Dakota to John and Helen (Hintz) Hellwig. She grew up on the farm and attended country school through the eighth grade, later graduating from Menno High School. Florence married Owen (Happy) Schatz on November 26, 1933 at Menno. They farmed on the Schatz farm until retiring and moving into Scotland in 1978. Her hobbies of ceramic painting and flower arranging turned into businesses that she enjoyed for many years. Florence was a member of Zion Lutheran Church. She was a lifetime member and past president of the Scotland VFW Auxiliary. Florence died on Tuesday, November 25, 2008 at the Avera Brady Health and Rehab Center in Mitchell, South Dakota at the age of 94 years, 8 months and 16 days.
Survivors include a daughter, Delores Kroupa of Mitchell, South Dakota; a son, Ron (Carol) Schatz of Scotland; five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren; a brother, Willard (Lucille) Hellwig of Menno; and many nieces and nephews.
Florence was preceded in death by her husband, Owen, in 1989, her parents, two brothers, Wesley and Robert, three sisters, Mabel Graber, Virginia Fraley, and Linda VerBeek, and a son-in-law, Ralph Kroupa.
