Obituary of Doris J. Schmidt

Doris Arlene Jones Schmidt (2/1/1922), cherished mother, grandmother, great grandmother, teacher and friend moved on to that better place February 22, 2017 at the age of 95. She was preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Schmidt, 2003 and leaves behind to honor her memory her son, Douglas (Louise) Schmidt; her daughters, Donna (John) Alberghini and Anita Schmidt (Scott Rankins); grandchildren, Charles (Amanda) Schmidt, Elona Fish, Mathew Schmidt, Jeffrey (Diana) Alberghini and Mark Alberghini (Janice Partlow); her great granddaughters, Makayla Mosca-Schmidt and Tahlia Fish; her grand puppies, Ike and Gertrude Rankins, Max Schmidt, Chad Olson-Schmidt and Sebastian Alberghini; and grand kitty, Selina Alberghini-Partlow. Doris helped to shape and nurture two generations of children in addition to her own. Also she was a fabulous cook, gardener, sportswoman, musician (playing the organ for the local churches and piano to delight her kindergarteners), an active church member (long-time choir member, past Sunday school teacher and Superintendent). Her most recent church membership was at the Brockport United Methodist Church. Above all she was a loving and kind spirit who made our small section of the world a better place. We will miss her and treasure her memory. Friends are invited to call Saturday, March 4, 2017 from 2-4 PM at the Thomas E.
