Ceil grew up in North Germany Township, Wadena County. She enjoyed outdoor work and helping her mom care for her younger siblings Ted, Gloria and Onie.

Ceil married Edwin R. Schultz June 6, 1950 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Sebeka. They moved to the Perham/New York Mills area where they farmed and raised their children Laureen and Dean.
Ceil was a hard worker taking on many of the farming responsibilities, from milking to baling to fieldwork, always keeping a picture perfect yard, garden and flower beds. She was an accomplished quilter and seamstress. She sewed many outfits for her daughter and granddaughters. Bowling was a passion and her 160 average was maintained for years.
