Margaret Schuchts Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 19, 2017.

Margaret Mary "Margie" O'Donnell Schuchts was surrounded by her loving family as she bravely journeyed home to be with the Lord on Monday, September 18, 2017. Born June 11, 1954 in Dekalb, Illinois to Jerome and Kathleen O'Donnell, Margie entered the world full of sunshine and spunk. Margie loved deeply and passionately, endlessly welcoming others with open arms. As a labor and delivery nurse for over 30 years, she helped bring hundreds of lives into this world. Always the life of the party, everyone adored her. As a tribute to the many lives she touched, she was visited by streams of friends and family in the weeks prior to her journey home.

She will be greatly missed by her loving husband Bob Schuchts; two daughters, Carrie (Duane) Daunt and Kristen (Stephen) Blake; eight grandchildren, Anna Kate, Andrew, Ryan, John David, Luke, Elizabeth, Gabrielle and William; brother Jere (Patty) O'Donnell; sisters Ann (Gerald) Williamson, and Julie (Tom) Sweeney; many nieces and nephews and countless other family members. She is preceded in death by her parents, as well as her brother, John O'Donnell.

In lieu of flowers the family is requesting donations be made to Open Door Women's Clinic or John Paul II Healing Center.

Dear Bob and family,
I was saddened to hear of Margie's passing. Though I was just a kid when we were neighbours in Alumni Village, I have clear memories of good times there; it was wonderful to have Margie around, making the world more lively and positive. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Margie was such an influence to us. Julie's friends. Older sister with many lessons. I went to holy family and pace. Spent many hours at the O'Donnells house. Margie was way cool and I will always remember her just as she was. God bless her and all her family.

Dear Bob,
So sorry for your loss. Margie was a unique individual with a lust for living. We had a blast when ever i saw her for the reunions. She always called me Cuba since high school and continue to do so whenever she saw me. May she RIP.!

Dear Bob,
I will be forever grateful for the email I received from Margie, after she responded to the picture I submitted for the 2017 Pace reunion.
She was a wonderful classmate and some of my fondest memories are being on the cheerleading squad with her.

Blessings,

Dear Bob & Family,

I was deeply saddened when Mike told me of Margie's passing and please accept my condolences for your loss. My memories of Margie at Pace High are all of happiness, as she always lit up the room, was warm & friendly and always offered words of encouragement (especially when we varsity basketball players weren't doing very well). And one of my most fun & cool memories of Margie was when she & you and your new baby Carrie put Mike, Johnny C. & me up in your small apartment in Manhattan while you were at Columbia. You were busy with school stuff, but Margie (even with a new born) made sure we had fun while we were there (and we had a blast)! For those great memories, I will be eternally grateful to Margie. I will keep you and your family in my daily thoughts & prayers. Your friend,

Dear Bob - words fall short on describing what I feel for your loss.
I considered myself very fortunate to have known Margie. She was a unique and wonderful combination of zeal and friendship. I have not, nor will I, forget the positive imprint she was on Joanne and on my family over the past decades. It seems particularly tragic that her final time with us is paradoxical to how she lived her life, how we remember Margie, so full of love, life, and laughter.
Hold on to your faith, hug your family, and embrace your many friends.

Margie and I started our friendship in 1985 when we both worked in OB at TCH.
That was when we learned that we were both from south Florida and how much we loved the beaches- Haulover Beach was hers and Key Biscayne mine. All of the OB nurses developed a close bond- we were family. This carried over the years, even when we worked in different places. We have been going to the beach every year together for over 25 years and are so glad we were able to have our "girls beach week" this year with Margie never dreaming this year would be the last time with her. Bob, Carrie, and Kristen I love you like family; you will always be in my prayers.

If we all lived like Margie:

We would love unconditionally and deeply

We would be grateful and compassionate

We would be PASSIONATE about everything

We would appreciate every moment

We would see the good in everyone

We would find ways to laugh at ourselves

We would take every opportunity to laugh with others

We wouldn't let anyone tell us we couldn't achieve our desires

We would let others to see our weaknesses

We would stand up for those who couldn't stand up for themselves

We would comfort others in times of need

We would teach others to be their best selves ....and be content

We would learn not to take life so seriously

We would find humor in the simplest things

We would not judge

We would be courageous

We would make the world a better place

I will miss you my friend. ❤ Thank you for opening your life to me.

Prayers for all of her loved ones. She is looking down and sending her love. She is in the best place now.
