Maureen Schmidt, age 78, passed away Monday, July 26, 2021 surrounded by her family in Silverton, Oregon. She was born in Hartington, Nebraska in 1942.

Maureen met and fell in love with Bob Schmidt, her husband, at the young age of 16 in Mt. Angel, Oregon and they married on June 1, 1963. They raised their two children, Jeff Schmidt and Rachel Schmidt Long, in Silverton, and they continued to live in their same home, surrounded by their beautiful flower gardens for the last 46 years.

Maureen's home has been host to many large family reunions and countless holidays where her grandchildren, Jake Schmidt, Zoë Schmidt Noe, Brendan Long, Meghan Long and recently her great granddaughter Penelope Noe will always remember their Grandma welcoming them with a smile as they drove in and spoiling them with endless love and pride. They will also always remember her famous chocolate chip cookies and spicy pickles.
Maureen will also be missed by her siblings, Mick Fischer, Annette Brier, Randy Fischer and MaryKay Bielemeier, her daughter-in-law, April Schmidt and her son-in-law Scott Long, and countless other relatives. Maureen is predeceased by her parents, Rose and Edgar Fischer.
Maureen was a hairdresser for over 50 years. She loved gardening, walking every morning and she loved caring for her Sophie Dog. But most of all she loved her family.
