Elizabeth Patterson Schmidt

Elizabeth Patterson Schmidt passed away peacefully on May 29, 2024, surrounded by her loving family.

Beth was born the youngest of three children to Ray and Barb (Potter) Lowry of Maumee, Ohio, on April 30, 1952. She met Bill Schmidt and bonded over a shared love of old cars and music and married in 1980. Together they raised three wonderful children of their own. Beth will always be remembered by her family as a dedicated mother who was supportive of whatever interests they pursued. She loved to color with her kids when they were young, was always present on the sidelines at games, and nailed the high harmony at living room sing-a-longs. Beth was also known to give incredible nicknames to her dogs, who she loved as members of the family. As "Mimi," she spoiled her grandkids with snuggles, bedtime stories, and an endless amount of snacks.

Beth always loved Northern Michigan, playing cards with her family and friends, music, the Detroit Tigers, old Volkswagen Beetles, fluffy socks, and Sunday drives.

She is survived by her brothers, Ray (Chieko) Lowry and Phil (Randi) Lowry; her loving husband, Bill; their children, Brian (Jill) Schmidt, Robin (Aaron) Stein, and Geoff (Becca) Schmidt; her grandchildren, Brynn and Chloe Stein, and Ollie and Simon Schmidt; and her beloved dog, Barry.

Her family will be holding a Celebration of Life at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, they ask that you consider honoring her by donating to the Toledo Area Humane Society.
