Life Well Lived
A life well lived is a precious gift, of hope and strength and

from someone who has made our worlda brighter, better place.It’s
filled with moments,
sweet and sad with smiles and sometimes tears,with friendships
formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.A life well lived is a
legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,a living, lasting memory
our grateful hearts will treasure. Author Unknown
Clarence “Peach” Schuller, 97, passed away peacefully on
November 28, 2020 at the Emmetsburg Care Center.
Peach was born on November 24, 1923 in Mallard, Iowa to Ray and
Loretta (Conlon) Schuller. He attended the St. Mary's Parochial
School through the 10th grade and graduated from the Mallard High
School in 1940. After high school he began farming with his father
on the family farm. Clarence was joined in marriage to Ella Mae
Schneider from West Bend, Iowa, November 27, 1945, in Sts. Peter
and Paul Catholic Church, West Bend, with Rev. Paul Dobberstein
officiating. In 1946, Peach and Ella Mae took over the family farm
in Mallard. Clarence and Ella Mae were loving parents to six
children, Judy, Diane, Richard, Galen, Gary and Jerome. Peach
continued farming, sold O’s Gold seed corn and became a rural
letter carrier for Mallard. He retired from farming in 1983, and
from the postal service in 1990. For many years he delivered mail
on his 6 days a week, 120-mile route, and was known for giving
bubble gum to all the kids. As a young man, Peach was an avid
baseball player and boxer. He and his brother, Ervin would spend
many hours sparring, training and perfecting their skills. It has
been said that he had a devastating left hook. He would do chin-ups
on the door frames of the old farm house for strength training and
continued doing them well into his later years, performing a few
for his grandchildren Conlon and Ryan, at the age of 89.Peach was
an accomplished poet and harmonica player who was known for his
song and verse, his quick wit and Irish charm. He always had a
smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, and he was loved for
his kind heart and devotion to family, friends and community alike.
He loved playing cards and he especially enjoyed playing golf. He
was a founding member of the Mallard Country Club and spent
countless days in pursuant of the perfect game. He would spend many
hours and every opportunity improving the course and facilities. He
is survived by his loving wife Ella Mae and children: Diane Goodwin
(Dave) and Jerome (Janell Edwards); grandchildren Tom Lincoln, Todd
Lincoln, Tracy Patten, Amy (Kelly) McKeown, Michael Kelly, Conlon
Schuller and Ryan Schuller; and 7 great grandchildren and sister
Esty Fogarty. He was preceded in death by his parents Ray and
Loretta; brothers Cyril and Ervin; and children Judy Howard (Bill),
Richard, Galen, and Gary.
