     Aspen Raen Schultze was born on July 22, 2011 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Chippewa Falls, WI, the daughter of Justin D. and Jami M. (Colby) Schultze.  She was raised in Greenwood and attended Greenwood Public Schools.  Aspen enjoyed driving 4-wheeler, UTV rides, hunting, reading, and had a great love for animals, especially for her dogs.  She will always be remembered for her passion for country music.  Her singing and dancing will echo through our hearts and minds forever.  Aspen is a beautiful, smart, kind, little girl that is deeply loved by many.

     She will be dearly missed by her parents; her brothers: Ethan Schultze (Taylor Gregorich) of Chippewa Falls, Marshall and Colton Schultze, both of Greenwood; her maternal grandparents, Dennis Jr. and Charlotte Colby of Greenwood; her paternal grandmother, Diane Schultze of Greenwood; her paternal great-grandmother, Eleanor Schultze of Thorp; aunts, uncles, cousins and many friends.

     Aspen is joined in heaven by her paternal grandfather, Duane "Dewey" Schultze; maternal great-grandfather, Dennis Colby, Sr.; and her maternal great-grandmother, Melva Hendrickson.

     In lieu of flowers, her family asks that donations be given in Aspen's name for a memorial to be established at a later date.
