Robin L. Schutz

December 15, 1964 — March 11, 2024

Robin Lindsay Schutz, passed away March 11, 2024, in Milwaukee, WI, the city where she first opened her eyes December 15, 1964. Parents John Lindsay Morrison and Annie (Nan) Robin Morrison (nee Kerr) preceded her in death.


Robin was devoted and caring through her 37-year marriage to her beloved husband, Steve Schutz. They raised a vibrant family. Neal (co-parent Jennie), Jenny, Adam (Kaeli) and James were mothered with support and joy. Grandchildren Sophia, Gabriella (Gabby), Kaylana, Levi, Oliver (Ollie), and Xavier arrived and were adored. Robin's love extended to her siblings, Ann Morrison (Lary) and John (Ian) Morrison (Mary), and she was the fun-loving aunt to Cameron, Langdon, Greyson, Lindsay, and Elizabeth.


After graduating from South Division High School, Robin's pursuit of knowledge and her passion led her to earn an Associate Degree in Nursing from MATC. Starting as a nursing assistant at Columbia Hospital, Robin's drive and intelligence saw her rise to become a critical care nurse. Her co-workers, patients and families benefited from and celebrated her technical skill and practical attitude. Perhaps, more importantly her joy and humor helped all through their most challenging times.


In her youth, she was an avid participant in Highland dancing. “Mama Schutz” mothered her scouts through many adventures. She cheered and cried for the Green Bay Packers. Weekends up north brought happy times to Robin, especially cooling off in the pool and warming up around the fire. Robin shared her joy and caring with many friends too numerous to mention but are all named in our hearts.


Even as she struggled through the challenge of frontotemporal dementia her spirit remained undiminished. In dying she continued to help and heal other through organ donation. Robin Lindsay Schutz's legacy is one of love, laughter, and the profound impact of a life well-lived.


Visitation (11 am-12 pm) and memorial service (12 pm-12:30 pm) are at Max Sass & Sons Funeral Home, 1314 Manitoba Ave, South Milwaukee, Tuesday March 19, 2024. A reception will follow at the Bucyrus Club 1919 S. 12th St, South Milwaukee at 1 pm. Donations to dementia research or MATC nursing scholarships will carry on the gifts she brought to the world.
