Ursula A. (Schultz) Schreck

Ursula A. Schreck fell asleep in death peacefully on January 28, 2026, at home with family at her side.

Born April 25, 1935, in Łódź, Poland, to Karl and Lidia Schultz. The oldest of three children, she grew up during the hardships of World War II, where she learned responsibility early while helping care for her younger brothers.

In 1952, her family immigrated to the United States. Ursula later attended nursing school and became a Licensed Practical Nurse, beginning a lifelong path of caregiving. She met Roman Schreck and was married on July 28, 1956, and she became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1957.

Ursula was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on January 27, 1962. Her faith remained a guiding force throughout her life.

In 1972, she moved from East Orange, NJ to Deland, FL to help her parents on KAS Farms off N. Ridgewood Ave, collecting eggs daily, while continuing her work as a nurse and later becoming the sole caregiver for both parents. Ursula was known as a strong and hardworking woman who loved her yard, sewing, crocheting, and caring for her family. She will be remembered for her determination, deep faith, and the love she gave to those around her.

She was preceded in death by her infant daughter, Tanya; her husband of 48 years, Roman Schreck; her brothers, Karl and Peter Schultz; and her grandsons Joshua and Jonathan Allen.

She is survived by her children: Tammy Schreck, Roman Schreck Jr., Alita Allen, Karen Dorsey, and Joel Schreck; along with five beloved granddaughters: Rachel Schreck, Brianna Anders, Daniella Koontz, Larissa Nielsen, and Jonica Guiler, and her eleven precious great-grandchildren.

Memorial Services will be held on Saturday, February 21st at 3PM Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses 170 Mercers Fernery Rd Deland, FL 32720
