Thousand Oaks, California
Barbara Shultz, a longtime Moorpark community leader
and co-founder of Women of Moorpark Enjoying Networking,
or WOMEN, has died
after a long hospitalization, her family said Tuesday. She was 57. Shultz, a resident of Thousand
Oaks for the past 10 years, had been under
heavy sedation since early September, after an infection from a pacemaker
led to
deteriorated health, her family said.
An official cause of death has not been determined.
Shultz, a leading advertising sales representative for a national magazine,
had a heart condition and received the
pacemaker in August, her brother said.
"She was a very outgoing person," said Paul Shultz. "She was a business
person and always built a personal relationship
with her customers. To her, the
relationship was more important than the business itself."
On Sept. 7, co-workers found Barbara Shultz in her home, where she appeared
disoriented. She was taken to Los
Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks, and doctors
determined that she had a severe staph infection.
The pacemaker was removed Sept. 10, but the
infection grew more serious, and she suffered subsequent health
setbacks, Paul
Shultz said. She died Saturday morning October 28, 2006.
She worked for Clipper Magazine, where she earned the distinction of being
among its top five advertising
representatives nationwide.
She worked with a variety of community events, including Simi Valley Days and
Moorpark Country Days. She was a
member of the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce
and the Moorpark Chamber of Commerce. She carried out a key
role in coordinating
the Miss Teen Ventura County contests every year.
Shultz grew up in the Venice area of Los Angeles and moved to Moorpark 25
years ago. There she bought a house
( Barbara and I purchased this home together
in December, 1978, we moved into it in January, 1979) on Sierra Avenue
and opposed the
construction of what is now the Mission Bell Plaza shopping center.
Survivors include her longtime companion, George Shinaberry; her brother,
Paul Shultz; and her sister, Ellen Robertson.
A memorial service is being planned for Nov. 11, but details are still being
worked out. Paul Shultz said he hopes the
service will take place at Calvary
Community Church in Westlake Village.
