Alice Schmidt Announcement

In loving memory of Alice Schmidt (nee Renz) of Kindersley, SK who passed away on June 6, 2025 at the age of 97.

A graveside burial service will be held on Thursday June 12, 2025 at 1:30pm at the Kindersley Cemetery with Rev. Scott Kopperud officiating. A memorial service will be held at St. Olaf Lutheran Church in Kindersley on August 13, 2025 @ 2pm, a place she loved, cared for and was very active in for many years.

Alice Renz was born May 5, 1928 in Skorkowka, Poland to parents, Rudolf and Emma Renz. Alice had 3 siblings: Elsie, Irma and Linda all of whom have predeceased.

Alice came to live in Canada in 1955, initially settling and working in Vancouver. An aunt played matchmaker to reconnect Alice with Alfred Schmidt. Alice and Alfred had known each other from childhood. Their families lived a short distance apart back in Poland and connected through many previous church and community gatherings.

Alice and Alfred were married on March 14, 1959. Alice and Alfred worked very hard and well together over the years building a life for themselves. Alice took wonderful care of Alfred over their 52 years of marriage until his death on November 28, 2011.

Although Alice and Alfred never had children of their own, they became a second family to a lot of people, provided a caring environment to many friends and relatives’ children as well as any four-legged animals, fish, or feathered creatures that happened along.

Alice was very energetic, enthusiastic, kind-hearted, caring and charitable with her time, talents and resources. Our lives and our world around us are much better because she was a part of it.

We will miss her.
