My grandma showed me the real meaning of Love, she looked past my past n seen the new me. I love the impact that she made in my life, she is in Heaven dancing with Jesus n her Hubby!
I thank God for allowing me to be a part of gramma Doris life...

I have many memories of my grandma Scheidt. She was such a strong and positive influence on me, and pretty much anyone she came in contact with! She cared deeply for everyone, you could hear it in her voice and see it in her eyes. She had a beautiful smile as everyone knows, but one of my favorite things about my grandma was her contagious laugh! Whether she was explaining something to you or telling you a joke , her laugh was infectious! I also looked forward to spending the holidays at her house with family... ,especially Fourth of July..., I have yet to find somebody that made/makes homemade vanilla ice cream as good as she did. A few years ago I was able to see her on my birthday and  she gave me  a  container of her homemade ice cream ! :-)  I cannot tell you how awesome that was ...( best gift ever!!! :-) I  miss and will continue to miss her deeply. I will always be your little "Chatterbox"! :-)   I love you grandma!!!

I knew “Mom” since 1975. That’s what I always called her. I knew her to be so kind, compassionate, caring, and loving. She always had a positive attitude and brightened every occasion. Our families (sons, wives, and grandchildren) spent every Sunday after church with mom and dad for years, always followed by a delicious home-cooked meal. Mom made every important holiday so special, and we always enjoyed her awesome meals. 

We will miss her. Even though we weren’t able to visit much in her later years, when we did talk on the phone, she always reassured my daughter and myself that she loved us and prayed for us every night. That’s the best gift she could ever give us. 

I know that she is in Heaven with our Lord, but she will always live in our hearts.

Memories... there are so many about my Gram that I will forever hold in my heart.

Every year has multiple holidays, and every single holiday was spent at my Grandma’s and Grandpa’s house. Going over there was a time I looked forward to, and a family tradition that I called, “Home”.  Every meal was made with heart, soul, and pure love. I remember after everyone was seated and had at least one bite, Gram would always ask, “How is it?!” She took pride in making those special meals for her family. We would always love it when she would join us when we played games, but the dishes had to be done first. *Smiles*.

There’s one memory that I have that is both funny and sweet. I was staying the night with them when I was about 10 yrs old. She let me put those fake, press-on nails on her. It didn’t turn out perfect, but she made me feel as though they were. She kept them on until they all fell off. That’s LOVE!

Every time I spoke with her on the phone, she would always reassure me how much she loved me, and that she prayed for me every single night before going to sleep. We shared our love for our furry children, and how much love they give us. I could always feel the love in her voice as though she was reaching through the phone to give me hugs. The last words she ever heard from me was, “I Love You, Gram, and I’m praying for you!” When she passed, I knew it wasn’t “goodbye”. It was, “I’ll see ya later!” That’s what the Lord promises us as His children, and it’s such a comfort.

I love you so dearly, Gram, and I’ll see ya later!

Your Granddaughter,
Lynette

A dear Lady,

I have known Doris and Dick for many years.  Working at Costco, they would look for my check-out line, and make sure they said hello, always offering a sweet smile and kind words.  Even after Dick passed, Doris would make my day brighter just by being  the friendly person she was.  Smiles & hugs.  She had a way of making me and those around her feel special.  She will always be in my heart.



What can I say about my sis?  We had some great times traveling....Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, Mexico, New Orleans, Seattle, Santa Cruz, Wyndover, Vegas.  We were , oh, so different in our styles but what good friends we were.  We took turns choosing where we would go next.  Doris would select places that were cool and I'd always choose the warm, sunny places.  But no matter where we were we would talk endlessly, try new adventures, and laugh until we cried.  I miss picking up the phone and saying "what temperature do I use for????, the Dog Show is on, NASCAR is on, skating is on."  We loved hanging out together, attending our family gatherings, Red Hat functions, traveling and talking on the phone for hours and never running out of things to say.  I love and miss her so much.  Towards the end of her days she shared with me that she was ready to meet the Lord and she loved the life he had given her.  That is what gives me the comfort when I wish I could speak with her one more time.  That and the fact that we will be together again, someday in the future.

It is so hard to express, in words, the love I have for my Aunt Doris. I have such wonderful memories of the time we spent together. My earliest are of holidays at her home.... The angel hair flocked tree at Christmas and the fireworks on the 4th of July. It was a pretty full house with my cousins Ken and Don, my four brothers and me. We were a loud and rambunctious group but no matter the noise level or number of additional cousins who joined us we couldn’t help but feel the love and joy when we were in her home.  As I grew older I was included in grown-up events with MeMe, Aunt Doris, and my Mom. I loved attending the fashion show for Daughters of the Nile with them. We spent the entire day watching the models, bidding on silent auction items, eating lunch, talking, and laughing. Aunt Doris always made me feel special.  I still have and treasure the poinsettia table cloth she made for me one Christmas. Her gifts were always made with the recipient in mind. Aunt Doris and my mom are great cooks. When I needed help with the ingredients for kuga, prime rib or homemade vanilla ice cream I’d call Mom who would say let’s call Aunt Doris. Between the two of them they’d always come up with the perfect recipe.  There is no doubt I am going to miss those three-way phone conversations. I am so blessed to have had her in my life for the past  60 years. Although she is no longer on this earth she will always be in my heart.

My special friend

So sad you are no longer with us. I will always cherish our time bowling. 
Especially out trip to San Jose. I miss most our phone conversations.  We always tried to solve the world’s problems. I miss you everyday.  I will always remember how you would tell me you loved me. So special. Rest In Peace my friend you deserve it.

One of the best memories I have of my cousin, Doris was when I was graduating from Hamilton Junior High on Clinton and Palm. I expected that no one would be there to watch me graduate from middle school that day. As I waited for them to call my name, I was sad knowing that no one would be there to see me receive my certificate. When they finally called my name, I went to get my diploma and that is when I noticed Doris in the audience. She didn't tell me she was going to be there and she was the only one. It was such a surprise and meant so much to me to have someone from my family there to support me.  After graduation, we got in her car and celebrated. My memory escapes as to where she took me to celebrate, I just know that we had a great time. Having her there meant so much to me and was completely unexpected.

Another memory I have of my time with Doris is when I was a first time driver. She came to pick me up to go to Grandpa's house and when she got there, she told me she wanted me to drive us. While I was driving her car, we got behind a slow car on the country road. I passed him and after I did, I looked at Doris and told her that was the first time I had ever passed a car! She looked back at me and said, "You did good! Nice and straight!" She made me feel good about myself and that I was a good driver.  

When we got older, we would keep in touch by phone. I spoke to her not too long ago asking about Aunt Molly's ravioli recipe. I wish I would have known it would have been the last time I would get to talk to her. I will miss her dearly as she was a wonderful cousin. 

Love, 
Doddy Blevins 

Our Mom-
What a dear and lovely lady she was.  So many words seem to fit to describe her:  kind, generous, caring, joyful, sweet, sassy, serious, silly, funny, talented, happy, friendly, graceful, tenderhearted and loving.  She was a woman who loved her family, friends, her dog- Pixie, cooking, sewing, traveling, bowling and living a wonderful life!  Everywhere we went, she seemed to know someone.  In a city of over half a million people, she would see a friend from across the room.  She always treated me like her very own daughter.  I miss her so much and I am ever blessed to have had her as my Mom, my "Mother-in-Love."

We consider ourselves beyond blessed to have had this wonderful woman in our lives! Even across 2000 miles she made sure we knew we were precious to her, and she was so very precious to us. She was so loved and continues to be as she lives on in all of our memories! 

I basically grew up with the Scheidt family!  If their family wasn't at our house, we were at theirs.  I have always loved  Doris!  As I got older I was able to share memories with my Mom, Doris and Marlene by attending some Red Hat outings.  We also got together to see Mama Mia, all Mom's and Daughters.  I saw her many times at the Edison Social Club bingo's as well.  Doris was always delightful!  If there is any way to describe her, it was with some derivative of the word 'Delight'!  She was a beauty, inside and out!  I am sorry she is gone,  but I know she has a few very special people in Heaven with her that she has been missing  for a long time!  God Bless Her on her new journey!   "Well, ya know"...    hu hu!!"

Love to you Ken and Terry and family!

(part 1)
My Mom
 
Sometimes, when we try to describe the love, affection and adoration of one of the most important people in our lives, that we miss so much, words are not enough. My Mom easily fits into this category.
 
As a child growing up and all through my life to the present, I cannot remember another person speaking ill of mom. She was loved by those who really knew her and adored by her family. Her love of her family was obvious to all who knew her. Her smile was infectious.
 
I personally do not believe that there are "perfect" parents. Mine were no different. Mom and Dad were not perfect; however, we always knew we were loved and we were always well taken care of. Mom and Dad were faithful to each other and the love my mom had for Dad still showed in her eyes when she spoke of him.
 
Mom and Dad taught us the value of hard work. We lived on a small ten acre farm in the country and there was never a lack of work to be done. Mom used to be out in the field with Dad and us, "the boys," as Mom called us.  They both worked along side us just to help get the crops in or processed. Then after the work was done, Mom always cooked a hot meal from her kitchen. I cannot ever remember Mom not cooking. Once in awhile, we got treated to a dinner out.


(part 2)
I remember Mom in her ponytail, ironing in the living room while "Loretta Young" a soap opera, was playing on TV. That was the only soap opera she ever watched, but Mom never missed an episode of "I Love Lucy," That show was her absolute favorite!.
 
Mom seemed to have always believed in God, however, after Don (my brother) and I found the Lord, so did she. We talked about the Lord frequently. In her later years, she never missed watching Church on TV. That was very important to her. When a sports program or some other programming prevented her Church Service from being broadcast, she was not a happy camper.
 
When Mom and Dad retired they spent a lot of time taking care of my brother's children, Matthew and Sara. It is so nice to hear Matt and Sara talk about the things Mom and Dad did with them while growing up. They both turned out great, so at least part of that was because of Mom's and Dad's influence.
 
Mom cooked Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's holiday meals until she surrendered that duty several years ago. Over 60+ years of wonderful fun filled holiday memories. All of which I, and the rest of our family will never forget.
 
There are many more things I could say about my wonderful Mom. Way too many to continue.
 
I believe her greatest legacy will be her upright character, and unfailing love of her family, and the many friendships she acquired over the years.  She treasured people, not things.
 
She will be, Forever loved and Forever missed.
 
I love you my precious Mom.
 
Ken


My Grandma

It's hard to sit down and write something about someone who you loved your whole life. So many wonderful memories come to mind when I think about my grandma. When I was little, I spent a lot of time with her and my grandpa. I remember sitting and watching The Galloping Gourmet and Julia Child with her and then proceeding to do my own cooking show for her while standing on a stool in her kitchen with the dishes in the sink. Her and I would put music in and dance in the living Room, and watch shows in the morning time like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. When I got older she gave me my love of sewing, a hobby I still have to this day. She always had an open ear to listen, and a pair of great arms for hugging away problems. Even though she is in heaven with my dad and grandpa, I still feel her with me every day. She is in the air I breathe, and in the rain falling from the sky. Words cannot express the love I have for her or how much she will be missed. I love you Grandma.

May God Bless Ken,Teri and family. I am so thankful I got to spend some time with Aunt Doris before she went to be with our Lord. I have fond memories of spending time at her And Uncle Dick’s house. Especially Thanksgiving holidays with them, Ken and Don. They were always full of love and laughter. Aunt Doris was always cheerful and full of smiles whenever I visited, even if it was unannounced. She will be greatly missed and will always have a special place in my heart !

So sorry for your loss.  She is now in the arms of our loving Lord Jesus. 
May you find comfort in knowing just that.  She was always a special  cousin.  My love ,  Georgette
