Maud Frances Schad, 97, died Feb. 25 at Our Lady of Compassion Care Center. A memorial service was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Strawberry Chapel. Bishop Norman Fairbanks, 9th Ward, officiated. Burial was in the West Hills Memorial Garden in Yakima, Wash. Those arrangements were made by the Shaw & Sons Memorial Chapel, in Yakima.
Mrs. Schad was born Dec. 28, 1895, in Goldendale, Wash. Her parents died when she was very young, so she was raised by a lady she called "Auntie Coombs." According to her family, Mrs. Schad had always had an interest in caring for people. She learned nursing from a country doctor in Goldendale, and by taking a Chicago Nursing Correspondence course, she became a licensed practical nurse. While raising her children, and helping to raise her grandchildren, Mrs. Schad continued her nursing career in Yakima. On Feb. 22, 1965, Mrs. Schad left Yakima with her daughter and son-in-law to drive the Al-Can Highway. They got as far as Fort Nelson when she totaled her car. She and her son-in-law, Emerson, were able to combine all of their belongings into one vehicle and continued their journey to Alaska, arriving March 2, 1965. Anxious to be in the service of others, Mrs. Schad went to work for the Ridgeview Manor Nursing Home, located on the Old Seward Highway, as Night Charge Nurse. "She extended her love for people many times and in many ways, going beyond the call of duty in her profession," her family said. "Known to many as 'Grandma,' she loved all children and would light up at their very presence. Grandma remembered every birthday of every child, grandchild, great- grandchild, and great-great-grandchild. She never missed a one." After retiring at the age of 76, Mrs. Schad moved to California, then Utah, for the warmer weather. She returned to Alaska in 1988 to live with her daughter, Margaret. She was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and was a member of the Relief Society organization in the Church. She stood for the motto "Charity Never Faileth."
Four generations survive Mrs. Schad: her daughter, Margaret Ransier of Anchorage; her son, Donald Tuttle of Banks, Ore.; a step-son, Leo Schad of El Cajon, Calif.; and nine grandchildren, Jan Hankinson of Anchorage, Sharron Weatherman of Yakima, Sandra Cook of Smithfield, Utah, Terry Ransier of Olympia, Wash., Donald Heisel of Calif., Roy Tuttle of Nevada, and Sherry, Tana, and Dawn, all of Oregon; and numerous great-grandchildren and great- great grandchildren. Arrangements were handled by Evergreen Memorial Chapel.
