Eileen Evelyn Schmick

Eileen Evelyn Schmick passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on March 30, 2012.  Eileen was born on June 8, 1930, to Henry and Ida Neumiller, on their farm west of Acme.  Eileen attended Bancroft School, after which she worked at the local AGT, Macleod’s, vet clinic, and later in life, the Custom Woolen Mills.  After being acquaintances for many years, Eileen and Allan Schmick began their curling rink courtship.  They were married on December 6, 1965, and proudly began building the family farm east of Carstairs.  Their two sons, Doug and Spencer were born soon after.  Eileen enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, playing cards at the Half Century Club, singing with the Drifters, gardening, and sewing.  Eileen will be greatly missed by her loving husband, Allan; son Doug, his wife Susan, and their children Sarah and Quinn, of Carstairs; son Spencer, of Calgary; sister and best friend Betty Marsh, of Carstairs; brother Les Neumiller and his wife Rita, of Acme; as well as many extended family members and friends.  Eileen was pre-deceased by her parents and special brother-in-law, Gordon Marsh.  Eileen’s family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Turner and the Olds Hospital acute care staff.  A special thank you also goes to Dr. Hoffman and the many nurses who gave Eileen their greatest respect and care during her final days.  A remembrance service was held on April 4, 2012, at the Bancroft Carstairs United Church with Reverend Bryan Derksen officiating.  If friends so wish, memorial tributes may be made to the Carstairs Community Chest, Box 592, Carstairs, AB, T0M 0N0, or to the charity of one’s choice.
