Schultz of New Ulm; her granddaughter, Hattie Schnobrich of Colorado Springs, Colorado; sisters, Hurdis Lindberg, Joy (Samuel) Perkins, Judith Slen, Bonnae Maistroianni; and many nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.

Marlys “Molly” Diane Gilthvedt was born August 19, 1937, in Grygla, Minnesota to Henry and Alpha (Johnson) Gilthvedt. On June 6, 1954, Molly was united in marriage to Maynard Schultz in LeSueur. This union blessed the couple with a son and a daughter whom together they began raising in Rush River. They later moved the family to Gibbon before eventually making New Ulm their home. Early in life, Molly worked as a clerk at the Raftis Fashion Store before beginning her thirty-year career with 3M in New Ulm. Molly eventually retired in 1990. To keep occupied in her retirement, Molly worked in the kitchen at MLC College in New Ulm. Besides her work there were a variety of hobbies in life that Molly dearly enjoyed. She loved working with her hands quilting and tending to her beautiful flower and vegetable gardens in the summers. As a lifelong animal lover, there weren’t too many moments in life she didn’t have a cat or dog by her side. Molly was a devout member of the Oakwood United Methodist Church in New Ulm where she volunteered many hours, served with the United Methodist Women, and sang with the church choir. These memories, and countless others will forever stay in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved her. Blessed be her memory.
