Alzheimers - The Thief A Thief came awhile back and slowly took our Mom away. She didn't do it all at once but by tiny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled. ""Oh, She's just getting older,"" we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was - the searching, asking, pacing - the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with what she had and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, And Mom's resting in her final Home. God made the thief give back to us the Mother we had known.

LAVERNE A. SCHMIDT LaVerne A. Schmidt, age 84, of Chilton, died on Saturday, November 26, 2022 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Appleton. She was born August 26, 1938 in Chilton, daughter of the late Gregory & Celestine (Wagner) Geiser. LaVerne married Martin R. “Marty” Schmidt on October 17, 1956 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Chilton. Durning this time, LaVerne worked for Chilton Metal Products and later Tecumseh Engine in New Holstein, but never left the farm that she and her husband operated hand in hand in the Town of Charlestown until 1992. She was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church, formerly St. Martin Catholic Parish where she was actively involved with the Christian Women and helped run the “Day to Day” operations of the church. It was here that she also taught CCD for many, many years and lovingly guided families and youth to appreciate and live out their Christian faith. In so doing, LaVerne also lived her faith by volunteering as a tutor at the Chilton Area Catholic School in Chilton. Throughout her life, LaVerne made the most of everything God had blessed her with. She was always kind and went out of her way to make delicious baked goods for friends and family; she was well known for making a mean pie crust and her cookies, but was renowned for her Angel Food that won rave reviews from anyone who received a large quantity of it around the Christmas Season. She loved to tend to a very large garden and elicited the inexpensive help of her children to tend to and harvest the crops of the work of her hand. As life moved on, LaVerne began the simple pleasures of life. She especially enjoyed doing puzzles, visiting with those she loved, and relaxing with a good read. She looked forward to moments with a good book or article, and spent hours pouring through the Words of Scripture in her Bible. LaVerne loved her entire family without question, but was especially glad when she was called “Grandma”. Time spent with her grandchildren teaching them the “tricks of the trade” through life, and the crafts and baking techniques she acquired through the years will be passed on for generations to come. Survivors include her children: Duane (Dawn) Schmidt, Cynthia Kilgas, Timothy (Pat) Schmidt, Gregory (Deb) Schmidt, Kevin (Yana) Schmidt; her grandchildren: Benjamin (Anne), Brandon (Brooke), Zachary (Crystal), Joshua (JD), Justin, Chelsea, Joshua, Holly (Katie), Taylor (Kevin), Christian, Sarah, Rebecca, Danielle, Steven (Brooke) Samantha, Daniel, Nika; great grandchildren: Trae and fiancée Trinity, Olivia (Kale), Ariana, Marlie, Elijah, Drew, Evan, Ruby, Madelyn, Connor; great-great grandchild: Rosella; siblings: Janice Gary, Harry (June) Geiser, Fr. Al Geiser, Donnie (Mary) Geiser; and her siblings-in-law: Shirley Geiser, Joan Schmidt, Eileen (Glenn) Beers, Richard (Audrey) Schmidt. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband: Marty; a son-in-law: John Kilgas; her brother: Michael Geiser; and her siblings-in-law: Bob Gary, Ronnie Schmidt, Darlene Koehler, Delbert Schmidt, Harvey Schmidt & Loa Ann Schmidt.

She didn't do it all at once but by tiny pieces every day. At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled, "Oh She's just getting older", we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was - the searching, asking, pacing - the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with what she had and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, And Mom's resting in her final Home. God made the thief give back to us the Mother we had known. "We love you and will miss you."
