Kathy Spruill Schmidt

Kathy Spruill Schmidt, 69, of Oriental passed away surrounded by her family on Thursday, April 18th, 2024.

Kathy dedicated much of her life to her children. Prior to being blessed with the three loves of her life, she worked in Nuclear Medicine with Craven Regional Medical Center, where she made a lasting impact with her many colleagues and patients. Once her plate was full with three small children she came home and spent the next two decades of her life devoted to their care, well-being, and happiness. Once her child-rearing days were behind her, Kathy built a respectable cleaning service, where she once again charmed the many she served with her grand sense of humor and wit. Throughout her years, she maintained her illuminating personality and won the hearts of everyone she met.

Kathy is preceded in death by her parents, Walter and Faye Spruill, her beloved son, Ethan Schmidt, and coveted granddaughter, Colbie Rae Schmidt.

She leaves behind to revel in her memories and stories her husband, David; her daughter, Avery Ham and husband, Ponce; her son, Caleb Schmidt; her sister, Sandra Holton and husband, Larry; her most beloved dog, Gus, as well as her many, many friends in her community.

Her most cherished loved one she leaves behind is her “butterbean”, her granddaughter, Sutton Elizabeth Ham, who was the light of her world.

A funeral service to honor Kathy’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m., Wednesday, April 24th at Daniels-Sadler Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the funeral home. A private graveside interment will be held for the family following the service at Paul Cemetery in Arapahoe.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Kathy’s honor to The House of Prayer, 5884 Riverdale Drive, Jamestown, NC 27282.
