Marge Schmidt- a true honorary member of the White House! There wasn't a time I arrived home from college or later with my new family in town that she didn't come in the back door- always such a welcome sight and big hug! She was my mother Pearl's best friend and confidant! She handled Whitey, my father, like a champ! Cutting his hair, keeping him in line, giving him neighborly advice on his lawn and when Dad got a little forgetful Marge, respectfully kept him in check. We loved her so much!...

Marge was a good friend to everyone. She knocked doors, worked hard, and made wonderful kringla. She never seemed to age. She is a great example of a life well lived. Our sincere sympathy to her family all all her loved ones. Bill and Marcie Frevert

Our sympathies to your family. Marge was a wonderful person and a great friend to my parents Bob and Marie Hamerlinck. We kind of adopted Marge as part of our family. She had a great smile. She was so happy and glad to see us when we came to see her. She will be missed by our entire family. We were blessed to have known her. Debbie(Hamerlinck) Kneip

I so loved spending time with Marge when we belonged to the Curlew card club. It was called Sit and Chat Club where we played “Hand and Foot”. She had a great smile and a happy way about her. She served so many great foods when she hosted our group. She will be missed by many.

Steve, Keith, Kevin, and Renee and your families,
So very, very sorry to see this! I have so, so many fond memories of working with Marge at EHS!! We used to take that school pickup down to Kunz’s Locker and pick up food we had to store there because we didn’t have enough freezer space at school. She always drove, because her driving a straight stick was much smoother than mine! So many laughs over the 10 years I worked with her!! Loved working with her!!
I know you will miss...
