Wendy Joy (Hall) Schultz

43, of Mechanicsville , Va. , passed away on Friday, November 24, 2006 with her family by her side. She is survived by her loving husband of 22 years, Ricky S. Schultz; one daughter, Alyssa Joy; her mother, V. Shirley Shea (Daniel); father, Irvin G. Hall (Ann); one sister, Nancy A. Schultz (Randy); one special aunt, Dalaine Peet (Jim); and many loving aunts, uncles, cousins, niece and nephews. Wendy was a 1981 graduate of Wellsville Central High School, attended Alfred State Tech College and went on to achieve many awards in retailing, and at the time of her passing, she was General Manager of the Macy’s at Short Pump Town Center. Family and friends will honor her memory at a 6:30 p.m. memorial service at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 813 W. Nine Mile Road , Highland Springs , Va. on Friday, December 1, 2006 . Memorial gifts may be made in Wendy’s name to her favorite charities: the St. Jude Children’s Hospital and the Sarcoma Alliance, 775 E. Blithedale No. 334, Mill Valley , Calif. 94941 . Wendy will be missed by all who knew and loved her. She entered the world of spirits with a sharp mind, generous heart and an incredible sense of humor. Wendy Schultz loved working in retailing. The Wellsville native got her start in the industry almost by accident. She and her husband had taken a trip to Newport News in 1983 to visit friends. They loved the area and decided to stay if they could find jobs. She landed a part-time position at the former Rices Nachmans department store. “She was just a natural,” said her husband, Ricky S. Schultz. “She just really had a knack for retailing.” Schultz worked at other chains, eventually becoming general manager of the Hecht’s store (now Macy’s) at Short Pump Town Center when the mall opened in 2003. “That was a huge honor for someone to go manage a premier state-of-the-art store,” said Regina Derricott, general manager of the Macy’s store at Chesterfield Towne Center. “It speaks to her tenacity to do whatever needed to be done.”  Schultz died Friday of cancer. She was 43. She had a positive attitude, said Derricott, who hired Schultz in 1993 to help open the Hecht’s store at Virginia Center Commons. “She was a great motivator,” Derricott said. “She had a winning spirit. It was never about how it can’t be done, but always how it can be done.” Craig White, Short Pump’s mall manager, said that drive became important when the Hecht’s store opened. She always had a positive attitude during those frenzied times — and had fun at the same time, he said. A few years after starting her retail career, Schultz took a job with Hess’s Department Stores Inc. and worked in variety of positions. She eventually became manager at the chain’s Chesterfield Towne Center store. She held several jobs with Hecht’s, including the general manager post at the chain’s Coliseum Mall store in Hampton. Schultz graduated from Wellsville Central High School in Wellsville, in 1981. She attended Alfred State after high school. She is survived by her husband; their 4-year-old daughter, Alyssa Joy; her mother, Shirley (Dan) Shea, father Irvin (Ann) Hall; a sister, Nancy (Randy) A. Schultz, three step-sisters, Becky, Kristy and Jamie Hall and other relatives. A memorial service will be held Friday at 6:30 p.m. at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 813 W. Nine Mile Road. A memorial service is scheduled at Immaculate Conception Church in Wellsville on Saturday, Dec. 16 at 11 a.m.
