Barbara R. Schmidt

Beloved wife of 66 years to William C. Schmidt. Preceded in death by husband William, two sons, Dale (age 54) and baby Mark. Survived by daughter Lisa (James Meyer), granddaughter Jamie Schmidt, granddaughter Heather Carabajal, who was like a daughter, and very precious great granddaughter Liliana Carabajal, the absolute joy of her later life.

Barb, also known as "Mousey" by her family, was very loved by many, she was a wonderful homemaker, along with various careers throughout her life. She was a great cook, and was very active in the lives of her children and grandchildren.

She will be greatly missed. Rest in well-deserved peace.

We wish to gratefully thank Barb's nurse DeAnna, and CNA Penny at Prohealth Care.

Private family service.
