Nancy was born on May 26, 1948 in Fairmont, MN. She lived her childhood in Brooklyn Center, and later received her Associate of Arts Degree from North Hennepin Community College which led to the position of Office Manager at Rochlin Law Firm.

Nancy was married to Robert Morris Schmidt on June 15, 1991 in Hennepin County, MN. They traveled on many journeys across the US in their motorhome with their beloved King Charles Spaniels: Corky, Casey and Luke. Nancy loved to cook and was a gracious host to many family and friend visits. She was very close to a large group of friends, including the “6-pack”. Many years were spent traveling with her girlfriends both internationally and throughout the United States.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Randall and Helen Darmer; parents in-law, Morris and Mildred Schmidt; and close friend, Sissel Dahl.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Robert Schmidt; brother, Larry Darmer; sister, Marsha Darnell; nephews, Phil, Eric, Charley, and Joseph; nieces, Lucinda and Melissa; grand nieces and nephews; as well as sisters-in-law, Nancy Willers, Susan Sperl and Janet (Donald) Kaspari.

Nancy will be remembered for her fun-loving spirit and devilish sense of humor. She will be dearly missed by her family and longtime friends.
