							Obituary  
							 
							Melanie Schaler, 44, of Lincoln 
							passed away on Saturday, June 15, 2019 at Memorial 
							Medical Center in Springfield.
 Melanie was born on July 2, 1974 in Pekin, the 
							daughter of Harvey and Jeanne (Onken) Boyer. She 
							married Joe Schaler on December 31, 2005. He 
							survives in Lincoln.
 
 Melanie is also survived by her daughter, Sara 
							Buchanan of Nashville, TN; her brother, Michael 
							(Ginger) Boyer of Indianapolis, IN, and sister, 
							Michelle (David) Eyrse of Hartsburg. Melanie is 
							preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Jeanne 
							Boyer.
 
 All who knew Melanie were made well aware of her 
							sense of selflessness, servant heart, beautiful 
							smile and goofy sense of humor. She would give the 
							shirt off her back to anyone in need, seeing to 
							everyone else’s needs before her own. This continued 
							through her donation to Gift of Hope.

							She fiercely loved with her entire 
							heart. The void she will leave here on earth is 
							monumental but the celebration in heaven will be as 
							equally great.
 Services for Melanie will be held at 11am on Friday, 
							June 21, 2019 at Lincoln Christian Church in 
							Lincoln, with a visitation held one hour prior to 
							the service (10-11am). Burial will follow the 
							services at Greenhill Cemetery in San Jose.
 
 An evening visitation will take place from 3-7 p.m. 
							on Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 
							Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home in Lincoln.
 
 In lieu of flowers and as her “final fundraiser,” 
							memorial donations may be made out to Joseph Schaler 
							to later be equally divided amongst Melanie’s 
							various organizations and distributed on her 
							birthday, July 2nd.
