Edith J. Smith

Edith was born to Henry and Anna (Kreuger) Schultz on March 8, 1938 in Mondovi, Wisconsin. She married Paul Smith in November of 1960, and together they raised three children; Kevin, Doug, and Eric.

She worked as a cytotech for Associates Pathology until her retirement in 1995, and was a long-time member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Wausau.

She was preceded in death by her parents, daughter-in-law Debi, and sister Dorothy.
