50 Years: Stan and Kathy Schwartzz

Stan and Kathy Schwartz of Quincy will celebrate their 50th Anniversary with a Mass and gathering of friends and family in late December. Stan, the son of the late J. Eugene and Evelyn Schwartz and Kathy, the daughter of the late Dan and Marie Gramke were married on November 29, 1974 at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Quincy. Many of their guests remember the event because of the record November blizzard that night, resulting in numerous accidents and cars in ditches.

They are parents of Todd (Dayna) Schwartz of Sandy, UT and their children Sadie, Toby and Sam; Megan (Vinicio) Zuquino of Guatemala City, Guatemala and their three children, Evy, Lydia and Addy and Brad (Angela) Schwartz of St. John, Indiana and their children, Isaac, Josie, Simon and Tyler.

Kathy is retired from teaching special education in the Quincy Public Schools and Stan is owner of Schwartz Insurance Services. They are members of St. Peter Catholic Church and have been active in Cursillo, Teens Encounter Christ and Marriage Encounter. Kathy enjoys volunteer work and Stan enjoys the shooting sports. They love to travel, especially making those visits to see their children and grandchildren.
