Sandra Sue Schultz, age 68, of Hope, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, July 27, 2025, following a courageous battle with cancer and her children by her side.

Sandra was born in Saginaw, Michigan on September 17, 1956, the daughter of the late Arno R. Bluemer and Alice L. (Wardin) Bluemer. She graduated from Merrill High School. She married Edwin E.

She also worked as a cashier at Meijer in Thomas Township. She was a former member of Zion Lutheran Church and St. Peter Lutheran Church and currently belonged to Lord of New Life Lutheran Church in Midland. She was very active in her church community. She loved to spend time on the farm, enjoyed driving her golf cart, and loved gardening. Most of all she was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother and loved to spend time with her family. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy.
