With sadness, we have learned of the death of Margaret “Peggy” Schultz (Kelly), (LAS ’87), Senior Administrative Assistant in Academic Affairs at DePaul for more than ten years. She was also known to many as the Academic Integrity Coordinator. Peggy was the sister of Kathy Kelly Hillegonds of the Office of the Dean in the Driehaus College of Business. Peggy passed away at the age of 62 on June 6, 2025, after a battle with cancer.

Peggy earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from DePaul in 1987 and was working on her master’s degree in public services. Peggy is survived by her three children Bradley, Alex and Abby, three sisters (Maggie, Kathy and Sheila), and extended family and friends. With her wisdom, quiet strength and generous spirit, Peggy left a mark on all of us. She will be sorely missed.

A memorial visitation for friends and family will be held at Tews-Ryan Funeral Home in Homewood (18230 Dixie Hwy.) on Friday, June 13 from 3 – 7:30 p.m., with a memorial service beginning at 7:30 p.m. A burial service will follow on Saturday, June 14 at 11 a.m. at Assumption Catholic Cemetery & Mausoleum in Glenwood (19500 S. Cottage Grove Ave.).

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to The Cancer Support Center in Homewood, the South Suburban Humane Society in Matteson or NAWS Humane Society in Mokena.
