On August 10, 1957 she married LeRoy "Dick" Augustine in Catherine. He died October 6, 1987.
She was a registered nurse at St. Anthony's Hospital and later Hays Medical Center for 43 years, from 1954 until her retirement in 1997, working in the OB Obstetrics Department and delivering thousands of babies. She was a member of St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church, was a graduate of St. Anthony's School of Nursing, and loved gardening, the outdoors, animals, babies, and especially family and her church.
She was an excellent cook, noodle maker, and candy maker and enjoyed sharing her candy and peanut brittle at the holidays. She sewed blankets and embroidered tea towels and was always quick to help with church funeral dinners and soup suppers.
Survivors include a son, Richard Augustine and wife Tawnita of Hays, two sisters, Rosemary Walters of Hays and Frances Schmidt of Long Island, NY, two grandchildren, Bryce Augustine and wife Lacy of Gardner, KS and Kylee Augustine of Hays, a great granddaughter Addie Augustine, a special niece, Elaine Werth, and extended family Larry Staley, Jim Staley, and Barb Elliott. She also survived by many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, five brothers Francis Schmidt, George Schmidt, Eugene Schmidt, Gerard Schmidt, and Ervin Schmidt, and three sisters, Anne Schueler, Kay Campbell, and Dorothy Vonfeldt.
Funeral services will be at 10:00 am on Tuesday, November 18, 2014 at the St. Nicholas of Myra Catholic Church. Burial will be in the St. Joseph Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 5:00 pm until 8:00 on Monday and from 9:00 am until 9:45 on Tuesday, all at the Hays Memorial Chapel Funeral Home, 1906 Pine. A parish vigil service will be at 6:30 pm on Monday at the funeral home.
