Jeri Schmidt

Hello everyone! Ya know where I’m at? I finally got my wish and I’m in Heaven with Jesus! I sure hope to see all of you here, too, someday! It’s wonderful! Now, let me tell you a little bit about my life back on earth: I, Jeraldine Jane, better known as Jeri was born to J.P. and Martha (Penner) Nickel on February 18, 1940. Mom, Dad, my sister Lula and I completed our small family. At the age of 5 years, I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. October 27th, 1959, I married Clinton Lee Schmidt of the Goessel community. Our lives centered around farm life. Clint and I had the joy of becoming parents to 3 children: Robert Dean, Janelle Rose and LeRoy Wayne. I was a stay at home mom until they went out to make families of their own and eventually gracing me with grandchildren and great grandchildren. At that time, I began working as an RA. I enjoyed helping people in this way and felt it to be my ‘calling’. Welcoming me with open arms on the day of my passing are my parents, JP and Martha Nickel; in-laws, HM and Bertha Schmidt; my husband Clint; his brothers and sister; my dear sister, Lula and her husband Sam Classen and very special nephews, Ray Classen and Frank Willems. Hopefully, mourning my passing, my children, Bob and Lori of rural Hillsboro, KS, Janelle and husband Mark Stockman of Peabody, KS, and LeRoy and Tina Schmidt of Louisburg, KS. Also my grandchildren, Kari and George Moore and their 3: Christian, Brooklynn, and Roselynn of Hesston, KS; LeeAnna and Levi Gilliland of Louisburg, KS; Tasha and husband Shane Hatton and their daughter, Ashlynn of Peabody, KS; TJ Stockman of Topeka KS; Chris and Andy Hart and their families. Plus, nieces, and nephews, and many friends and a few relatives. My life on earth ended at the age of 80 on May 4th, 2020. My prayer has always been that we’ll all meet in Heaven! How about it? Care to join me???? -Jeri Schmidt. Private family burial will take place at Alexanderwohl Mennonite Cemetery. Memorial contributions may be made to Bethesda Home in care of Miller-Ott Funeral Home, PO Box 96, Goessel, KS 67053. Hello everyone! Ya know where I’m at?
