Rosalie Schuler of Eureka passed away on December 29, 2025 at the age of 87. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 51 years, Gordon Schuler, and her son-in-law, Corky Schoonmaker.

She is survived by her children Bret Schuler, Jill Schoonmaker, Joy and Jesse Middaugh, Jeanette and Mike Byrnes, Amy and Joe Farnsworth, and Audrey and John Peterson. She also leaves behind grandchildren James Schuler, Vanessa Schoonmaker, Neal Schoonmaker, Dean Schoonmaker, Taryn Kammeraad, Brian Middaugh, Steven Byrnes, Allison Byrnes, Kevin Byrnes, Kyle Byrnes, Ryan Black, Daniel Black, Marcus Peterson and Julia Peterson, as well as several great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.

Mom’s happiest times were spent with her family. She had various talents and interests including art, music, and reading, but she was first and foremost a loving wife and mother who found great joy in her children and grandchildren. We will miss her dearly but find comfort in knowing she is finally reunited with her husband, parents and siblings.

A devoted lifelong member of St. Bernard Catholic Parish, Mom’s life will be celebrated on Saturday, February 21 at St. Bernard Catholic Church located at 615 H Street in Eureka. Services will include a Rosary at 10 a.m., followed by a funeral mass at 10:30 a.m. and a reception at the Parish Hall.

We would like to extend special thanks to the staff at Frye’s Care Home and Hospice of Humboldt for their excellent care during Mom’s final days.
