Della B. Schulz Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Della B. Schulz was born in Kansas City, Kansas to Delbert and Jessie Quaney, the third of five children in her family. Della’s father worked for the Union Pacific Railroad so they move often in her childhood, living in Winslow, AZ, San Diego, Barstow and San Bernadino, CA. Della graduated from Barstow High School in 1954 and enrolled at BYU for the 1954-55 school year. Returning to California the following summer she worked at the telephone company, then moved to Los Angeles and worked at an envelope factory. In the fall of 1956 she met a handsome young man on a blind date named Roger Schulz, whom she married on April 22, 1957. Together they raised a family of four boys, Eric, Greg, Brian, and Jeff. During the early years of their marriage they lived in Southern California, then moved to Orem, Utah in 1966 where they would reside for the rest of their lives. Della was a talented seamstress and operated Della’s Custom Draperies for over 40 years, making curtains for hundreds of families in Utah County. Della loved watching her boys and her grandchildren play sports. She never missed a game. She also loved the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as BYU sports. She enjoyed the simple things in life like an ice-cold Coca-Cola and dinner from Taco Amigo. Della is now reunited with Roger, who passed away in the summer of 2014. She was preceded in death by her younger brothers Jim and Ron Quaney. She is survived by sister Ethlyn Mallory and Pat Quaney; Della’s four sons, their wives and nine grandchildren -- Eric (Brook, Corey and Tanner); Greg (Alesha, Steven and Laura); Brian (Patti, Cheryl, Ashli, and Brian Jr.); Jeff (Lori, Garson and Max).
