Loucile Mary Schulte
February 07, 1921 - December 18, 2019
Loucile Mary White was born February 7, 1921, to
Byron White and Adele (Erwin) White in Aransas Pass, Texas, where
she grew up and attended school. She met her husband, Forrest James
Schulte, at a local dance.
Loucile and Forrest married on December 2,
1941. Forrest joined the Army Airforce after the bombing of Pearl
Harbor just five days later. Loucile lived with her parents in
Aransas Pass while Forrest served overseas during World War II.
Before Forrest returned from the war, she gave birth to their first
child, a still-born son.
After the war, Loucile and Forrest settled down
in several places during their marriage: Schulenberg, Corpus
Christi, Palacios, then Hallettsville, and finally back to Palacios,
Texas, where she resided until 2006. The couple raised two daughters
and one son. Loucile worked as a bookkeeper for several companies,
finishing her bookkeeping career with the Palacios Independent
School District. Loucile, devoted to family, was a hard-working and
loving wife and mother. She loved her Lord, Jesus. She belonged to
the First Methodist Churches of Aransas Pass, Hallettsville, and
then Palacios. Loucile joined the First Baptist Church of Palacios
after Forrest’s death where she counted the offering on Sunday
mornings. She was always fastidious about her appearance and the
appearance of her modest home. After suffering a mini-stroke in
2006, Loucile moved to a small apartment in Victoria, Texas, near
her daughter, Sandie. Suffering more mini-strokes, she moved to an
assisted living facility in Victoria and, then in North Richland
Hills. After another series of mini-stokes, Loucile moved to the
Texas Nursing and Rehabilitation Home in Victoria. When Sandra
moved to Arizona in 2016, Loucile was moved to the Texas Nursing and
Rehabilitation home in Gonzales, Texas, where she went to be with
her Lord on December 18, 2019.
Loucile was preceded in death by her first child,
Byron James Schulte, by her husband, Forrest, by her parents, Adele
and Byron White, and by her three brothers, Winston White of Aransas
Pass, Texas, Earl White of Harlingen, Texas, and Alvin White of
Kingwood, Texas.

Sandra Lynn Gillett of Gonzales, Texas; Deborah Eileen Matusek of
Edna, Texas; and Travis Wayne Schulte of North Richland Hills,
Texas. She is also survived by 8 grandchildren: Kellie Matusek
Warren, Tracy Wayne Gillett, Christa Schulte Hayne, Jamie Matusek,
