The Rev. Ralph Stuebs officiated at the Immanuel Lutheran Church at Globe ceremony on Saturday afternoon, October 17 for Donna Lea Schultz of rural Neillsville and Karl C. Stieglitz, rural Greenwood. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. William Schultz, Rt. 3 Neillsville, and Mr. and Mrs. Tomas Stieglitz, Santa Barbara, California.

Ann Heiman, a friend from Marshfield, was the maid of honor. She was joined by Carol Kohlnhofer, a friend from Greenwood, Pat Kiernan, a friend from Marshall, Minnesota, and Barbara Stieglitz, the groom’s cousin of Wausau.
