Obituary: Bozeman Daily Chronicle, June 9, 2013
Ethel Mae 'Pat' Schuller was raised on an Iowa farm and was a teenager during World War II. In 1971, she and her youngest children moved to Montana where Pat graduated from college with honors - obtaining a BA degree in Psychology. She worked as an Administrator of a large independent living complex for senior citizens until retirement in 1996. Pat had seven children, nine grandchildren, eleven great grandchildren. Her two lifelong dreams were fulfilled when obtaining a college degree and writing the book "Real Heroes" about her brother Darry's World War II experiences.
Pat had a passion for travel. She was a sports fan, in particular football and baseball, specifically the Denver Broncos and Seattle Mariners to which she was totally dedicated. What meant the most to Pat was, however, her family. Nothing pleased her more than visits from her children and grandchildren. Pat was an extraordinary woman and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Pat was preceded in death by: her husband Virgil A. Schuller; daughter Jane A. Simonton; father Adrian C. Logan; mother Ethel Mae Logan; and brothers Harry C. Logan, Darry A. Logan, and S. Richard Logan. She is survived by: her children Joel (Joanne) Schuller of Des Moines, IA, Bill (Dotty [Cooper]) Schuller of Cusick, WA, Gregg Schuller of Houston, TX, Fred Schuller of Roundup, MT, Paul Schuller of Casper, WY, and Karen Schuller of Bozeman, MT; siblings Dan H. (Claudette) Logan of Powell, WY and Garth E. (Carla) Logan of Anchorage, AK; Sister-in-law Mert [Myrt] Logan of Havelock, IA; 9 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren.
A private memorial service for family and friends will be held at 2:00pm on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at Dahl Funeral Chapel.

Ethel Mae Logan and Virgil Aloysius Schuller met at the Roof Garden Ballroom in Arnolds Park, Okoboji, Iowa. They were wed on February 10, 1948 at St Mary's Catholic church in Mallard Iowa. Best man was Virgil's 1st cousin Mark Schuller. Matron of Honor was Ethel Mae's sister-in-law Genevieve Logan.
The old St Mary's church building, where the couple were married, had been built in part by Michael Schuller Sr., Virgil's grandfather, who had also been a member of the building committee.
Ethel Mae was raised Methodist, but joined the Catholic church to wed Virgil. She took the name Patricia at confirmation. From then on, not particularly liking her given name, she preferred to be called Pat.
Virgil and Pat are the parents of 5 sons and 2 daughters: Joel, William, Gregory, Fredrick, Jane, Paul, and Karen.
