Sister Schmidt loved working with kids
For most of her life, Sister Valeria Schmidt taught children in a host of grade schools in Northern Kentucky.
And, after her retirement, Sister Schmidt continued her affiliation with youngsters by being a volunteer at the St. Elizabeth Medical Centers in Covington and Edgewood.
"I know she enjoyed the pediatric unit and took toys to the children.
She was always oriented toward children," said a friend, Sister Andrea Collopy.
"She was a very outgoing person who got along with adults as well. I know she enjoyed her teaching."
Sister Schmidt, O.S.B., 80, of Villa Hills, died of cancer Wednesday at St. Walburg Monastery Infirmary in Villa Hills.
She was born in Latonia and entered St. Walburg Monastery in 1938. She took her final vows in 1943.
Sister Schmidt taught primary grades at several area schools, including St. Therese, St. Henry, Holy Cross and Blessed Sacrament schools and Villa Madonna Academy.
From 1975-87, she served in the pastoral ministry department of St. Elizabeth Medical Center.
She served her community through work and prayer after her retirement in 1987.
Her warm personality endeared her to students, friends and family, Sister Collopy said.
