Sally Schmidt nee Morgan Obituary
Sally was known for her kind and generous spirit, always willing to share her time and talents with others. She found joy in music, singing in the church choir, Village Voices, and playing the piano for her loved ones. Sally's musical talents extended to playing the cello in the Village Orchestra and learning to play the ukulele. She was a skilled crafter, creating beautiful quilts, wall hangings, baskets, paintings, and pottery. Sally's laughter and smile lit up any room, making her the heart of every gathering.
Her faith was a cornerstone of her life, and she actively supported her church, missions, and various charitable organizations. Sally will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
Sally is survived by her husband, William Schmidt; brother, John Hendricks; sister-in-law, Margaret Hendricks; daughters, Linda Hamilton and Donna Morgan; son, Daniel Morgan; grandchildren, Erin Tomb, Justin Tomb, Samuel Morgan, and Molly Morgan. She was preceded in death by her first husband of 33 years, Richard Lee Morgan, and brother, Bernard Hendricks.
Sally worshipped at Claim Street Baptist Church, Morningstar Church in Aurora, IL, and Tri County Baptist Church in Lady Lake, FL.
A Celebration of Life service is set for Saturday, October 19, 2024 at Gospel City Church (formerly Morningstar Church) located at 8 S 101 Barnes Road in Aurora, IL. There will be visitation from 1:30pm to 3:00pm followed by a service from 3:00pm to 4:00pm.
May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.

Sally was our neighbor. We moved to Oswego in 1979. Her and Richard welcomed us. I was 11 when I met her for the first time. She had a warmth about her and she was so kind. In the summers she would offer to take my brother and I to Bible summer school at CSBC. My brother and I enjoyed it. God rest her soul. She was such a nice and caring person.

Sally was wonderful to my sister and I. I have many memories of her friendship with my mom, Carol Mills, and her kids Linda, Donna, and Danny. My mom sang many times with Sally. Sally had a beautiful voice. She possessed a calm caring spirit.

It's been many years since we were around Sally but we appreciated her when we lived in Oswego. She was always willing to help and do what she could. We have good memories of her.

Linda, Donna and Dan,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Sally was such a kind person with a lovely smile. I have many good memories of our families celebrating holidays together when both our mothers were alive.

Sally was a dear friend. She always had a smile and a kind word. I will miss singing with her in Village Voices. She and Bill went on our Choir trip to Italy a few years ago and I got to know them a bit better on that trip, such a great memory. May God be with your family as you grieve this special lady.

Sally and I met almost 50 years ago at work. We have shared many lunches, the good times and sad times. Sally always kept a positive outlook no matter what was happening. Sally helped me grow spiritually though the years. I will miss
the visits and phones calls. Sally will be missed by so many of those that knew her.

Sally always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. I will miss her cello playing in The Villages Pops Orchestra, and her singing in The Village Voices. She was a valued member in both.

Sally a Bill were on the Oasis of the Seas with Roy and me. We had such fun together. The highlight was when Roy and Sally caved and finally and zip lined after Bill and I enjoyed it several times. Sally and I often chatted during breaks in Village Voices. She had shared her faith and concern for others. There is comfort in knowing she´s in the presence of her Savior which was her goal. She was a delight. Bill, i pray for you as you grieve. You and I did have fun zipping.

Sally and I met at TCBC. She always had a smile and loved the Lord. We joined the small group that was at Sally´s home most weeks. She and I both remarried the same year after losing our spouse. We also shared almost the same birthday date. I have a heavy heart and will miss her terribly but I know where she is and I will see her again someday.

Each Friday for many years Sally and I sat by one another in Village Voices and would enjoy each other's company as we shared our love for music. We felt blessed to be able to be in our 80s and be part of such a wonderful choir. Her lovely voice and especially that wonderful smile will be missed. Joy Campbell

Sally became a special friend to us while wintering in FL. It was her bubbly personality, kindness, and generosity that drew us to her. We also shared her love of good music. Her passing has left a hole in our hearts, but we rejoice that someday we will see her again in heaven!

I am saddened to hear about Sally. It was so nice to get a hug from her the last time they visited Gospel City Church in Aurora. She was a great friend to my mom, Annetta Harmon. I'll miss her.
