Joan Ann Schultz's Obituary
Joan Ann (Radziseski) Schultz, 83, passed away March 20, 2023. She has reunited with her late husband and the love of her life, Albert Schultz, and her late parents, Joseph and Bernice Radziseski. Born on February 27, 1940, Joan was a part of Sacred Heart’s first graduating class. After graduating, she married Albert and raised two children. Wanting to have a career as a telephone operator, she instead co-owned and operated Jam’s Outlet with her husband. Later, she worked at Burlington Coat Factory where she made many wonderful friendships. She enjoyed sewing outfits for her grandkids, singing in the kitchen, drinking Chillable Red wine with her daughter and granddaughter, gardening and caring for her beloved plants, and making sure local wildlife had enough to eat. Joan will be remembered for her wit, sharp wisdom, strength, and the quiet force that she carried through this world.
Joan is survived by her daughter, Deborah (Schultz) Dearborn; her son, Albert Schultz; her granddaughter, Alyssa Dearborn; her grandson, Austin Dearborn; her daughter-in-law, Dennise Dearborn; her sister and brother-in-law, Joyce (Radziseski) and Dave Alf; and a companion cat, Henry. She also leaves behind many other family members and friends who loved and cared about her.
Special thank you to Crouse Hospital for allowing her to feel comforted and loved in her final moments.
