Harold was born April 2, 1925, in Douglas, Wyoming to Ted and Vera Schmidt.

Jane Paton Hermes

Jane Paton Hermes was born in Findlay, Ohio on June 16, 1926 and returned to the Lord on May 3, 2011. Jesus, the center of her being, graced and sustained her always as she met life's rewards and challenges. Above all else, Jane will be remembered for her abiding faith and her treasured legacy of family and friends. Jane was a loving wife to L.P. Hermes for 65 years, and now, forever. Jane was an incredible mother to her six children, Judy Curry (Roy), Tom Hermes (Lucy), Mariann Hardy (Wendell), Linda Atkielski (John), Jill Kennedy (Jeff) and John Hermes (Kim); a wonderful grandma to Maura, Ressa and Nathan, Tom and John, Heather and Todd, Jal and Christine, Janel, Jennifer and Joseph, Nicola, Jay and Marc and also a great-grandma to Devin, Kamille and Chloe, Issabelle, Cami, Emma Jane and Holden, Samuel and Oscar, Byrdie and Alden, Christopher and Chase, Victoria, JW and Luke, Tivoli and Gabrielle. In a day when family members scatter across the country and even the world, Jane's loved ones continue to reside in Tucson or close by. As a testament to her loving nature, among her children and grandchildren are professionals in service to others to include teachers, nurses, police officers, firemen and philanthropists. Jane was mother and angel on earth to many more than her six children. Through her involvement in parish life and other community endeavors, Jane created an extended family of friends. As the most amazing friend to countless people, many who met her felt like they had known her forever. She had an infectious laugh and bubbly sense of humor that made all those around her laugh with joy. No one was immune to her warmth, wisdom and whit. All who came to know her see themselves forever touched by her love, laughter and generosity. Among Jane's many gifts the following stand out: Work with the Newman Sustaining Board, Vine of Grace Women's Retreat Ministry, Reach Out Pregnancy Center and she demonstrated her creativity as an artist, upholsterer and seamstress. Numerous loved ones are warmer today because of all the beautiful quilts she made. We have often heard it said that a person cannot be all things to all people. In contrast, Saint Paul says, "I made myself all things to all men in order to save some at any cost; and I still do this, for the sake of the gospel, to have a share in its blessings." 1 Cor: 9:23 (The Jerusalem Bible). This is what our mom lived, day in and day out. All her extended family wants to thank publicly our Lord Jesus Christ and His Blessed Mother for this incredible woman. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Newman Center Sustaining Board, 1615 E. 2nd Street, 85719; Vine of Grace Women's Retreat Ministry, 5122 E. Holmes, 85711 and Reachout Pregnancy Center, 2648 N. Campbell, 85719. There will be a Visitation for family and friends on Thursday, May 5, 2011 from 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. with a Rosary at 6:30 p.m. at St. Cyril and then a Mass of Christian Burial will be on Friday, May 6, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. in St. Cyril Catholic Church, 4725 E. Pima Street, Tucson, Arizona. Interment will be in Holy Hope Cemetery. Arrangements entrusted to ANGEL VALLEY FUNERAL HOME, 520-327-6341.
