Kermit Edward Schulz was born January 1, 1917, to Emil and Minnie (Lemke) Schulz on the family farm in Spring Valley Township, Minn. On November 12, 1939, he was united in marriage to Blanche Riehl at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa. Together they farmed in the Spring Valley area raising beef cows, milk cows, crops, pigs, and chickens to sell the eggs. He continued to farm until his retirement at the age of 75. Even after Kermit retired from farming, you could always find him going out to scrape paint, spray weeds, and even mow the lawn. He owned the family farm up until his passing, with it being in the family since the mid 1800s. Kermit had a passion for anything John Deere and enjoyed mowing the lawn at Faith United Methodist Church. One thing that he was very proud of was being able to pay his own way even after moving into the Spring Valley Care Center.
He is survived by his children Carolyn (Carroll) Evers of Wykoff, Minn., and Marvin (Patricia) Schulz of Albert Lea, Minn.; three grandchildren: David, Carl, and Kelly; four great-grandchildren: Kelcey, Eric, Brianna, and Derek; great-great-granddaughter Olivia, brother-in-law Melvin Schmidt of Rosemount, Minn.; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, wife Blanche, granddaughter Carla, brother Lyle (Marcella), and a sister LaVerne Schmidt.
