In Loving Memory of Autumn Schilling
July 27, 2016 — August 3, 2026
Autumn Schilling, lovingly known as Girlie, was a joyful, energetic companion whose love for life was as endless as her love for a game of fetch. Born in Ohio, Autumn filled every day with happiness, laughter, and unforgettable memories for her family.
She was deeply loved by Cathy and Thomas Schilling, along with her godmothers, Denise and Sherrill. She also shared her home with her human sister, McClelland, and her furry siblings, Zoe Cat, Zoe Dog, and Charlotte Cat.
Autumn’s favorite thing in the world was chasing a ball. Whether it was in the backyard, the garage during the winter, or even inside the Escape while waiting at a stoplight, she was always ready for another throw. Her collection of spiky, squeaky balls brought her endless excitement, and watching her play was a joy all its own.
When playtime was over, Autumn loved curling up beside Cathy in bed, content just being close to the people she loved. She also never turned down her favorite treat—pizza bones, those delicious crusty edges that always made her day.
Autumn’s playful spirit, loyal heart, and unconditional love made every moment brighter. Though the balls have stopped bouncing, the memories of her excitement, devotion, and happiness will live on forever in the hearts of those who loved her.
Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever their Girlie. 🐾🤍
