Obituary:
A memorial service will be held Thursday morning for community volunteer Marian Othmer Schultz, 82, North 14th Street and Hilltop Road, who died Friday in Lincoln.
Schultz accepted leadership responsibilities in a number of civic organizations, including national and international work with the Girl Scouts Homestead Council. She had been a Girl Scout leader in Lincoln since 1942.
Other groups in which she was active included Women's InterClub Council, YWCA, United Way, WICS, PTA and its foreign-language program, Family Service Association, Willard community Center, Nebraska Chamber Orchestra Guild, Alpha Delta Pi, University of Nebraska Faculty Women's Club and PEO.
She served on the Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial and Educational Foundation board of governors and was a founder and member of the board of Friends of Loren Eisley. She also was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church.
She and her husband C Bertrand Schultz, director of the Nebraska Academy of Sciences were lifetime member of the academy and donated funds that allowed it to buy 640 acres of native prairie in Webster County for research and education purposes. The site, purchased in April 1990, will be proposed to the National Park Services as a National Natural Prairie Landmark and would be the only one of its kind on the Great Plains.
Mrs Schultz was born in Omaha and graduated from Omaha North High School. She was a 1932 graduate of the University of Nebraska and served as a full-time volunteer for 12 years at the University of Nebraska State Museum on expeditions, in laboratories and in the preparation of scientific manuscripts in Lincoln and New York City.
She and her husband traveled in more than 50 countries pursuing scientific research about the world's changing environment. Bertrand Schultz is known internationally as an authority in paleontology, geology, water resources, ecology and early man.
In addition to her husband, Marian Schultz is survived by her daughter, Tranda Ann Fischelis of Philadelphia and Dona Kay Wilcox of Tokyo; a brother, Dr Donald Othmer of Brooklyn, NY; and a sister Mildred Peterson of Chicago.
Services will be at 10:30 at Trinity United Methodist Church, 16 and A streets.
