Some of her last words were: "When I go to heaven, I want it to be said: `She was victorious over ovarian cancer for years and it transformed her Iife.' Never should it be said that I lost anything or succumbed to anything. I lived this life God gave me in this material existence. I will go on to the supernal, quintessential life to last throughout eternity with God."

Schoolcraft and wife Suzie of Cocoa, Florida; Brother, Michael Schoolcraft and wife Terri of Castroville, Texas and Sister, Mary Chloe Schoolcraft Saunders and husband John of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
