Ann Schmid Obituary
Aug 27, 1945 - Jun 22, 2025
Ann Schmid, 79 of Munster, Indiana passed away peacefully at home on June 22,2025 surrounded by family. Ann was born August 27,1945 in Ballyline, Ballylongford County Kerry Ireland to Patrick and Annie Dee. She emigrated to the United States at age 18. She was a devoted wife and mother to her husband Benjamin Schmid and two children Rita and Dan (Rita). She was a loving grandmother to her three grandchildren Nola, Cora, and Rowan as well as an attentive aunt to all of her cherished nieces and nephews. She was a daily presence in the lives of her two surviving sisters Bridget Marron and Nora Treacy. Ann is predeceased by her sister Mary Costello and her brother John Dee. She was a generous, pure and supportive presence in the lives of all she cherished. Always willing to give a helping hand or offer words of support, those whom she loved will miss her dearly. She enjoyed sharing God's word as a volunteer in CCD classrooms at St. Thomas More. The love she shared with us was like the warmth of the sun, making us feel safe and loved. She showed us how to face difficulty with honor during her two and a half years living with Glioblastoma Brain Cancer. We find comfort in knowing she will live on through us as we share with others the love and grace she poured into us. We are grateful to the skilled physicians, nurses and aides who helped care for her. Her gentle and kind spirit shone through even when she was ill - her surgeon, nurses and aides all described her as an angelic. We as her family agree, she was an angel to us.
Visitation and Funeral will be held Friday June 27th at 9:30 am at St. Thomas More Catholic Church 8501 Calumet Ave. Munster, IN 46321. Burial and Luncheon will be held immediately afterward, details to be shared the day of the service.

I knew both Ann & Bridget way back after we came here from Ireland. They were always such lovely ladies but unfortunately we lost touch after we married. I am so sorry to hear that Ann has passed away. My deepest sympathies to Bridget & all of her family.
