  Bernice F. Schmidt, 84, Appleton, passed away Saturday Sept. 5, 2009, at Heartwood Homes in Appleton due to complications from Alzheimer's. Bernice was born June 12, 1925, in Appleton to the late Nicholas J. and Margaret H. (Weiland) Kern. On Feb. 15, 1947, she was united in marriage to Warren Robert "Bob" Schmidt at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Appleton. The couple enjoyed 56 years together until his death in 2003. Many years ago, she worked as a waitress at South Side Athletic Club. Bernice was proud of her 45 years of volunteer service at St. Elizabeth Hospital. She was also the recipient of the Helen McGrath Humanitarian Award in recognition of her many years and thousands of hours of dedicated service on April 24, 1995. Bernice enjoyed working in her garden and spending time with her grandchildren. She loved walking and traveling with Bob - especially their trips to Hawaii. Bernice and her husband Bob were faithful members of Sacred Heart Catholic Church for many years. She is survived by her daughter Marsha (Terry) Dawson, Appleton; two sons, Kurt (Sandi) Schmidt, Appleton, and Brian (Joan) Schmidt, Appleton; seven grandchildren, Gillian Dawson, Brennan Dawson, Ryan (Jen) Schmidt, Kyle Schmidt, Brad Schmidt, Craig (April) Schmidt, and Katie (Todd) Shink; two great grandchildren, Aaron Schmidt and Benjamin Shink; her brother Nick (Marilyn) Kern, Cecil; four sisters, Lorraine Coopman, Menasha, Joyce Frank, Appleton, Rita (Leonard) Wyngaard, Kimberly, and Donna (Cornelius) Van Hout, Kimberly; two sisters in law, Rosemary Beaverson, Waunakee, and Norma Jean Van Ryzin, Venice, Fla. She is further survived by many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Bob, son Dennis, her parents, two sisters, JoAnn and Delores; and a brother Vincent. A Mass of Resurrection will be celebrated 11 am Wednesday, Sept. 9, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 222 E. Fremont St. Appleton, with Father Robert Karuhn officiating. Friends may visit at the Sacred Heart Room on Wednesday from 9 am until the time of service. Interment will take place at St. Mary Catholic Cemetery, Appleton. In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund for St. Elizabeth Hospital Memorial Volunteer Fund has been established. The family wishes to thank all the aides at Heartwood Homes who gave mom such loving care for the past year and a half. You have been wonderful and we're just saying that because it's true.
