Isabel F. Schultz

Published September 29,2020

Obituary's Biography:

Isabel Faith Schultz, 15, went to be with the Lord September 25, 2020 at her home in Lake Villa, IL.  It became clear that in recent weeks she had been struggling with a pain she had not shared with anyone and in a moment of weakness it led to her taking her own life.  Isabel was born January 11, 2005 in Madison, WI.  She was a sophomore at Grant High School and a member at Lakeland Church where she was an active participant in its youth group, Crossing.  She had many friends who loved her and whom she loved.  We remember Izzy for the way she lived her life, not for the way she died.  Izzy had a zest for life that was hard to contain.  She dreamed of teaching in Japan and exploring Asia with friends.  She loved all of what made her life worthy, including a good meal and would prepare herself feasts that were instagram worthy.  She had a mischievous and playful sense of humor and loved to make others laugh, but was innately nurturing and somehow always knew the needs of others and how to meet them.  Isabel’s love for her family knew no bounds.  She laughed and played with her dad, sometimes stealing his donut and hiding it in the oven.  She loved making her mom take her shopping and sharing special snuggle and conversation time.  Isabel had an exceptional relationship with her younger brothers and sister.  Her four-year-old brother loved when she pushed him on the swing or read books.  She shared special beauty days with nail polish and make-up with her six-year-old sister, and sneakily watched late-night movies (and got busted for laughing too loud) with her 13-year-old brother.  Isabel is survived by her parents Mary and Anthony Schultz, her siblings Aaron, Naomi, and James all of Lake Villa, her grandparents William A. and Virginia Ann Stevenson and Carol A. and Robert Venherm, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins who love her very much.  She was preceded in death by her grandfather Jim D. Schultz.  A visitation is scheduled for Friday, October 2, 2020 from 9:00am to 12:00pm at Village Church of Gurnee 1319 Hunt Club Rd. Gurnee, IL.  There will be a scheduled break until the outdoor funeral service at 2:00pm at the church.  Interment will be held privately.  Donations to defray the service costs for the family can be directed to Lakeland Church 440 Hunt Club Rd. Gurnee, IL 60031, memo Caring fund/Schultz Family. All funeral arrangements were entrusted to Strang Funeral Chapel & Crematorium 410 E. Belvidere Rd. Grayslake, IL 60030.  For more information please contact (847)223-8122 or log onto www.strangfuneral.org.

  7. Every time I think of her, I can only see her smile. She would never let anyone hold the baby’s as she was a little mother to all her siblings. She and Josie use to play and argue on a daily basis, both equally head strong. What a wonderful soul she is.

  19. On behalf of Palombi Middle School we want to offer our condolences. Isabel was a warm, kind, and joyful, young woman. Her studies were important to her, but so were activities. She was good at both. I sincerely remember her being a student who would say hello to you and make you feel good.

    We love you guys so much. We are thankful for your friendship, and the opportunity to share in Izzy’s life. We share in the heartbreak, but look forward to that glorious day of reunion. We continue in prayer for comfort, peace, and hope, and remain steadfast in our love for her, and your amazing family. We cherish those special moments, and are truly blessed by her friendship (and all of yours) for Isaac, and our family.

  30. Dear Tony, Mary, Aaron, Naomi and James – There aren’t words for your pain, and for the heartbreak I’m feeling for you. I’ve lost many loved ones who have taken their lives, and I understand that the pain they felt, through their own perspective of their lives, was just too great to bear. They didn’t want to depart, but they were in too much pain to stay. I pray for your loss and sadness, and also for your comfort and healing. Isabel is in the loving arms of Jesus, and I hope you can picture her that way now. 🥰🙏🏻😌

  31. We are very sorry for your loss. Izzy was a really happy person always smiling. We’re sending prayers to your family.

  33. We’ll remember Izzy for the way she loved her life. I’ll always remember her smile. Love to you all.

  34. Tony, So sorry for your devastating loss. Isabel was a beautiful girl—named after her grandmother if I’m not mistaken. She sounds like she was an angel on earth. Words just aren’t enough.

  35. I am so very sorry for your loss. I remember when you were trying to get pregnant and how much you wanted to be. Teenage years are so very difficult. Izzy was a beautiful girl. Keep telling her story. You will keep her alive in your heart.

  36. We are praying for your family. Izzy was beautiful. I only got to know her that one year in middle school when the girls hung out together, but we did enjoy her company so much. We will see her again soon, we will hug her and enjoy eternity together, and all this will have passed. (Revelation 21:1-6) He will make all things new. If there is any way we can serve your family during this time, please let us know.

  38. Dear Tony, Mary, Aaron, Naomi & James,
    We will always treasure the fact that we got to meet and know Izzy as a little girl when your family lived in Madison. She was a beautiful person and we cannot imagine your loss. May Isabel’s spirit soar free now. We love your family and hold you in our hearts.
    The Sanders Fleming Family (Ann & Carolyn, Lauren, Kiran)

  39. Mary and Tony, we are so sorry. I am praying for you and your family every time you cross my mind, which is often. Izzy lit up every room – even when she was younger in Madison. I can’t imagine the pain you must be in, losing that precious light.

  40. I am so sad and so sorry for the loss of Isabel here on earth. She was so kind, so sweet, and such a beautiful spirit. Her presence was a gift. I can only imagine her being held in the arms of Jesus and once again laughing.

  41. I was one of Isabel’s teachers this year. Her gentle and brave and adventurous spirit shone through her writing. I am so very sorry for your loss, and I wish you all grace and peace that passes all understanding.

  44. Mary, Tony, and family. So saddened by this news and just no words to express. Have many good memories of Izzy, Addie, and the twins hanging out, trick or treating, going to parks. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time

  45. Mary and Tony. Please know that you are all are in my prayers and thoughts in these dark hours. I will remember Izzy for the love and joy she brought to your household, to her extended family and friends. God knew Izzy, named her and set her apart, before calling her into existence. (Jeremiah 1:5). He never left her, not for a second and even now she is in Zion where all sorrow and sighing have fled away (Isaiah 35:10). Please God, that your family, our whole family, find peace. I pray for hope, tons of hope, that God will grow something good out of this time of grief, a lasting tribute to Izzy’s time here on earth. Love to you all, Beth (Stinson Family)

  46. Although I did not know Izzy, she sounds like a wonderful person, a charming and delightful young woman, daughter, sister and friend. This time we are living in is taking a huge toll in our lives. You could not have known. I’ll pray that the Lord gives you comfort above what we ask or think. May you find peace in His love.

  47. I am so sorry to hear about Izzy. As her soccer coach, I saw a wonderful girl just starting to bloom. She was so friendly, talented and loved by all the players on her team when she played. We will miss her smiling, calm countenance and beautiful energy, as well as, her adventurous heart. I hope your family finds some measure of peace.

  48. Words cannot express how my heart breaks for your family. Tony, Mary, Aaron, Naomi, and James, we are praying for you and love you very much! Mary, if you ever need someone to just be with you and/or cry with you, I am available. Please know that many are grieving with you and lifting your family up before God’s throne of grace. May our dear Lord surround you with loving friends and bring you comfort. Love and Hugs, Lisa for the whole Hanagan family P.S. I worked with Izzy in the church nursery and found her to be a beautiful and sweet young lady. She will be missed ❤️

  53. There are no words to express how sorry we are for your loss. We are praying for peace and comfort for your family. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

  54. I’ve started this message 4 times already, not knowing how to give words to the profound ache in my heart for your family. I met Mary at a women’s retreat, and I don’t know if I’ve met the rest of you, but that doesn’t matter. I’m shedding some extra tears tonight for my suffering brothers and sisters. I am asking God for his comfort and presence to be as real to you as he promises it will be, His sustaining power as strong and He promises it will be, and His own love for you all as overwhelmingly Enough as He says He is. And that He will be your fourth man in the furnace as you walk this road of unspeakable grief…yet with hope. And we wait for the day when Jesus himself will wipe our tears away. Much love.

  55. Our hearts go out to you, Mary and Tony and family. We cannot express in words a sense of your loss of Izzy. I remember her coming into the world and seeing her grow up some. It is hard to hear of her leaving this world so soon. We are praying.

  56. I just wanted to offer my deepest condolences to your family and to let you know that Izzy was such a bright light in my classroom. I had the pleasure of teaching her last year for Biology and she was always so friendly and smiling! I was truly saddened to hear about her passing. She will be dearly missed!! May you find comfort in the memories of good times shared and the wonderful person that she was. Wishing you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

  57. I am grateful to God for giving us Izzy for her time on earth with us. He knew just the perfect family for her in which to grow and flourish in Jesus so that she will be with Him now for and forever.
