Cindy Schultz

She has worked at Mills Fleet Farm, The Country Store, and First Federal Savings Bank before coming to work for the O’Connells in 1998.

While working at the bank, Cindy opened funeral trust accounts for the O’Connell Family Funeral Home. One day, Tom called to ask if she would be interested in doing the bookkeeping for the funeral home. When she first started, she came in jeans and sweatshirt, paid the bills, balanced the checkbook, and went home. Over the years, Cindy took on new responsibilities and started working regular hours. Now, her duties include filing death certificates and permits, answering phones, processing insurance claims, maintaining human resource matters, and bookkeeping tasks. She enjoys helping people. Says Cindy, “I am lucky to have a job where I look forward to going to work. This job is never boring. The staff at the funeral home is my second family.”

She is a BIG fan of the Minnesota Vikings, and, with her husband being a Packer fan, the football season is always interesting at their house!!

In her spare time, Cindy likes to garden, bake, and listen to county music. Occasionally she can be seen driving a tractor, bailing hay, or playing softball.

Cindy and her husband, Joel, live in the Hammond area on their family farm and have four daughters, Ali, Hannah, Beth, and Hailey.

Her favorite color is purple. She has three spoiled house cats and is a certified judge for 4-H Cat Shows.
