Edward V. Schuldt, 66, of Cissna Park

Edward V. Schuldt, 66, of Cissna Park passed away on Friday, March 11, 2022 at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.

Ed was born on May 31, 1955 at St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights, the son of Vernon and Verna (Rauch) Schuldt and they preceded him in death. He married Robin Schuler on November 15, 1980 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Colfax and she survives.

Besides his wife, Robin Schuldt of Cissna Park, he is survived by one daughter, Stacy Schuldt of Cissna Park; one son, Mark (Kaitlyn) Schuldt of Cissna Park; three grandsons, Gibson, Hudson, and Vaughn; and one sister, Martha (Don Camps) Schuldt of St. Germain, WI.

As a young man, Ed loved spending time of both grandparents’ farms and in his younger years he enjoyed tractor and truck pulling. After graduating high school from Lincoln Way in New Lenox, he attended Joliet Jr. College and then moved to his grandparent’s farm in 1978 to start farming. Robin farmed along side of her husband for forty-one years. Ed loved to farm, spend time at the barn raising cattle, watching his grandsons watch his every move, and his faithful companion, Bella who was with him most of the time. He enjoyed his antique tractors, plow days and tractor drives with his neighbors, and helping his wife at the hardware store in Cissna Park. He served on the Iroquois County Board, was an Elder at Trinity Lutheran Church in Cissna Park, as well as was a Claytonville 4-H Leader. He never knew a stranger and would drop what he was doing to help a neighbor.
