Spring Marie Schulz

With heavy hearts we share the passing of Spring Marie Schulz, age 71, who left this world peacefully at home, surrounded by her loving family, following a courageous 3-month battle after a stroke. She was born March 28, 1954, in Stockbridge, Michigan, the daughter of Eino Johannes and Dorothy Emily (Grimes) Lindstrom. Spring, a graduate of Stockbridge High School (class of 1972), went on to earn an associate’s degree from the Jackson Business Institute. She worked many jobs while raising her family, eventually retiring after 21 years from the University of Michigan’s Registrar’s Office.

Spring spent 51 wonderful years married to her devoted husband, Wesley, in a partnership defined by mutual respect, patience, and a love that never faded. Together, they raised three daughters: Jennifer (Dave) Ambrose of Caledonia, Melissa (Bob) Przybylo of Bloomfield Hills, and Stacey (Bruce) Cournoyer of South Lyon—each shaped by their mother’s strength, compassion, and unwavering support. Their family was further enriched when Katja Köbel, a foreign exchange student from Germany, lived with them for a year and became a cherished and lasting part of Spring’s family, a reflection of her open heart and welcoming spirit. She was the proud grandmother to eight grandchildren Tyler, Madison, Reese, Kendall, Adelyn, Brooklyn, Robert and Griffin. She also had many nieces and nephews, including beloved nephew Rick (Becky Gaynor) Risner of Waterloo. Spring was preceded in death by her parents, Eino and Dorothy Lindstrom, siblings, Jim Lindstrom, Bill Lindstrom, Virginia Lindstrom, and nephew, Randy Risner.
