Services for Christine Amelia "Christy" Schrum, 42, of Indianola, Iowa, who passed away early Friday morning, November 17, 2023, will be held 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, November 21, 2023, at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Indianola.

Christy was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to Arlen and Jean Schrum on January 30, 1981. She grew up in Des Moines, Iowa and Indianola, with older sister Katherine "Katie" and younger sister Elizabeth "Beth." Christy graduated from Indianola High School in 1999 and from the University of Northern Iowa in 2003.

Christy returned to Indianola in 2014, following work at Walt Disney World and Starwood. While in Florida, Christy developed many close friends and a lifelong love of all things Disney. Regrettably, Christy was unable to achieve her goal of visiting and experiencing Disneyland in California.

Since 2014, Christy pursued a career with Walmart, again developing many close friends and colleagues and spending as much time, energy and money, as possible, spoiling her beloved niece and nephews.

Christy is survived by her parents; siblings and their families, Katie and Adam Middleswart, Everett and Aileen, and Beth and Stephen Zimmerman, Jason and Grant; along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and close friends. She was preceded in death by her grandparents and an uncle and aunt.

Visitation will be held 5 to 8 p.m., Monday, November 20, 2023, at Overton Funeral Home in Indianola. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be given, in Christy's name, to Make A Wish Foundation or Ronald McDonald House.
