Eugene Schuster

Eugene (Gene) G. Schuster, age 94, passed away peacefully on March 21, 2020 at Prairie Gardens Assisted Living Center in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. He was born on February 19, 1926 and was the only child of George and Anna (Betlach) Schuster. He graduated from Marshall High School in 1944 and attended the Farm Short Course program at UW-Madison. Gene was preceded in death by his wife of 57 years, Antoinette (Neddy) in 2013. Both were active members of the Catholic Church. Gene worked his whole career on the family farm that he grew up on. He married Antoinette Maly in 1956, and they purchased a second farm 1 mile west of the home farm and raised 7 children: Sue (Paul) Miller, David (Ruth) Schuster, Linda (Jon) Minor, Michael (Lisa) Schuster, Steve (Beth) Schuster, Karen Schuster, and Bev (Chris) Speece. Gene had 16 grandchildren: Melissa and Amanda Miller; Jason (Alyssa), Caleb, Thurston Schuster and Crystal (Jesse) Brown; Grace Schuster; Ryan (Gennafer) Schuster and Seth Barden; Brenan Barber; and Sophia, Cecilia, Isabel, Clare, Monica and Genevieve Speece; along with 7 great grandchildren. Gene witnessed the power of God upon his life and upon the seasons. He was blessed to experience the warm sun on his face and watch the lush green summer fields. Just like the crops he sowed, Gene was God's seed, and now a harvest must come home, entering the heavens to rejoin Neddy, his soulmate, for a season of eternal peace.
