Mary was our dear, dear friend. Although we will miss her, we know she is happy to be reunited with Jim.
Mary was a wonderful person. I will hold my memories of her Close to my heart. I will miss her...
Toni & I have been best friends( more like family) for 54 years with Mickey. She will be missed by us and our family. Knowing she is reunited with Jim again will make it a little easier. God Bless You Mickey.
Dearest Christine and Family, my deepest sympathies on the loss of your mom. Moms and daughters have such a special bond. I know you are missing her dearly but hold the memories and photographs close to your heart and celebrate her life. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. All my love,
Sorry for your loss, Christine, Jimmy and Michelle and families and Bill and Kathy and family. Mickey was one of my mom's favorite cousins and we were so lucky to spend time with you all and grow up knowing each other. I will cherish her memory forever.
Mary was a great woman. Someone so special can never be forgotten. She will be truly missed and will always be remembered. May her soul Rest In Peace .
On behalf of Mary's IAAP family, we will miss her warm smile & quick wit. She was truly a professional in the best sense - an advisor, confidant and mentor to many. The Omega chapter has increased by one.
I would like to express my condolences to Mary's family. I knew Mary through IAAP/PSI. Mary was always kind and professional and made a lot of people laugh. The members of the Illinois Division and the IAAP organization as a whole has gained another angel to watch over all us of administrative professionals. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you His peace.
My sincerest sympathies to the Schmieder family on their loss. I knew Mary through IAAP. I remember her for her quick wit and her unending smile. I know God has His loving arms around her now.
Cousin Christine, Jimmy and Michele, I am sorry for the loss of your wonderful mother that truly loved all of you and your family's you've grown to have. I've known my Auntie Mickey since birth in which she became my God mother. Then later in my life when I was confirmed I had chosen her to be my Godmother also; which then she became my Godmother twice and that was a special thing we shared together. I will always love you auntie Mickey, miss you dearly and you will be in my thoughts and prayers forever.
Mary was such a wonderful lady that I had the pleasure of meeting through the Elgin Chapter of IAAP. Her smile and quick wit will be missed. My deepest sympathy to the entire family. May your memories of this wonderful woman be your strength in the days to come - Rest In Peace Mary Schmieder
Mary was a wonderful friend and confidante. We enjoyed many laughs and tears through IAAP. We will miss her a lot. Rest in peace, my friend.
Chris and Family: I'm sorry that Pat and I cannot make the wake or funeral. Our deepest condolences go out to all of you on this sorrowful occasion. Our prayers and all the best to you and yours...……. Mike and Pat Sloan
Please accept my sincere condolences Sorry for your loss..
Jim & Mickey were our great, friendly next door neighbors for 23 years, and we will miss them.. They both went through so many health issues in recent years at such a young age. Jim and Mickey will be back together again in heaven. Our sympathies to the family.
Aunty Mickey was good friends to my parents before all us kids were born. We have know her since birth and she and Uncle Jim were there for all our big moments in our lives. My wife and I would take our son trick or treating in Algonquin in their area and one of the highlights for me was seeing Her and Uncle Jim. We would go in and talk with them for a while. She was also there for a number of my son's big moments and We were grateful to have seen her twice prior to her passing. Aunty Mickey we will always love you and Miss you. We are happy that you are again with Uncle Jim. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her children as well as the rest of her family.

I knew Mary through our involvement in IAAP. She was a very sincere lady. I will always remember that we could look at each other eye-to-eye and not have to look up as we did with taller people.
I am so very sorry about Mary. She was so amazing I loved how fun she was at the IAAP events. She had a heart of gold and I will miss her. My deepest condolences to everyone in her family.
