Carl W. Schuster, of Winona Lake, passed away at Lutheran Hospital of Indiana on November 12, 2024, at the age of 82. Born on November 23, 1941, in Fort Wayne, to Carl and Mabel (Walcott), Carl lived a life rich with devotion to both his family and his career. Carl’s love for his family was steadfast. He was always there when needed, offering his support in practical ways and ensuring that his loved ones were well cared for.
From an early age, he believed in the value of hard work and starting each day with purpose. He set an example for those around him with his tireless work ethic and sense of responsibility. Carl possessed a natural gift for storytelling, captivating everyone around him with tales that often led to laughter and camaraderie. He was a devoted Chicago Cubs fan, passionately following his team and enjoying the shared experience with fellow enthusiasts. He delighted in spending time on the water, whether he was at Lake Wawasee or relaxing at Fort Myers Beach, embracing the serenity that nature offered. His weekends were often filled with time spent at the American Legion in North Webster, where he collected moments with friends and relished cooking for their special events.
Carl is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn Schuster; his son, Scott (Karen) Schuster; his daughters, Wendy Hatcher and Amy (Dale) Hendrickson; and his cherished grandchildren, Laura Farrell, Chris Hatcher, Sara Young, Anthony Hendrickson, and Joe Schuster. He also leaves behind six great-grandchildren, with one on the way, all of whom were a source of immense pride and joy in his life.
Carl was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Randy Schuster; and his sisters, Audrey, Luella, and JoAnn.
