Obituary for Trudy A. Seward Schmitt
Trudy A. Seward Schmitt, 68, of Peoria, Illinois, sadly passed away March 4, 2024. She was born on September 19, 1955, in Peoria, Illinois, to the late Leona Hayes.

Trudy was the youngest of four sisters. She had a special talent for crocheting and had made many cherished pieces. She loved the fall and Spoon River Drive. Her family remembers her love of haunted houses and pulling pranks on each other. She had a deep love for her dogs and cats. She cherished her family above all else. She loved spending time with them and helping them whenever she was able. She was just a phone call away if you needed someone to talk to. Even when her health started to decline, she had a laugh that could light up the room. She truly was a great friend, sister, aunt, mother, and grandmother. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
