Judith “Judy” Kathleen Schmit was born on June 7, 1954 in Watertown, South Dakota to Clifford J. and Patricia A. (Perry) Lindner. She grew up in Watertown/Castlewood area and then graduated from Castlwood High School.
On May 3, 1975, Judy married Kenny Schmit at St. Henry’s Catholic Church, Henry, South Dakota. Besides being a beloved wife and mother, she worked at Coast to Coast, was a Stay at home mom, Daycare Provider, Demo Lady and a Hy-Vee Floral Designer for 20 years.
She was a member of St. John’s Catholic Church in Castlewood and a very active member. For many years she taught CCD, she was a Eucharistic Minister, served on the Church Council and helped with Church Bazaar and etc. She also served on the County Election Board. Visiting and seeing her customers at Hy-Vee brought her smiles.
Judy enjoyed spending time with her family. She was very active with her children’s activities when they were growing up. One of her most memorable memories was going to NeSoDak as a chaperone with each one of her kids. Judy’s grandchildren were her pride and joy! Spending time having tea parties, listening to their stories, and supporting their activities brought her enjoyment. Her love of music, gardening, cooking, canning, baking and playing bingo and other games was enjoyed as her pastime through the years.
Judy’s main passion was her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Kenny. Praying together, weekly date nights and just spending time together was so precious to them both. They were truly blessed with 45 wonderful years together. When remembering Judy, it would be her big smile and the gift of giving.
