A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
September 14, 1944- March 2, 2025
Anita Louise Schmid, age 80, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away peacefully on March 2, 2025, surrounded by the warmth of her loving family.
Born on September 14, 1944, in Cincinnati, Anita devoted her life to her family and friends, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. Anita was a remarkable woman, known for her exceptional cooking, a venturous spirit, and her passion for travel. She had a deep appreciation for sports and enjoyed cheering for her favorite teams. She loved nature and especially watching the birds feed outside of her window. Her love for flowers and plants reflected her love of life and family.
Her intelligence and sophistication shone through in all that she did, and her beautiful smile and great sense of humor touched everyone she met. Anita was a nurturing mother, often referred to as “mother to all,”, reflected in her venerable nickname, “Mrs C.” Her kindness and compassion knew no bounds. Anita is survived by her three sons, Cary Williams, Tony Williams, and Marc Williams, as well as her beloved granddaughters Alaina Williams and Jenna Williams.
Anita was preceded in death by: Paul Schmid Jr, Mary Nortman, Charles Nortman, Jason Williams, Charlton Nortman, Johnny Nortman
Each of them carries a piece of her spirit, and her influence will remain a guiding light in their lives. A funeral service to honor Anita’s life will be held on Thursday March 6, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Arlington Memorial Gardens Funeral Home, with a public viewing preceding the service at 1:00 PM.
The family invites close relatives for a private viewing beginning at 12:30 PM that same day.
Friends and family are encouraged to gather and share in the celebration of the remarkable life of Anita Louise Schmid, an honorable woman whose beauty and grace will be dearly missed. Anita loved flowers so any flowers are always welcome to grace her final days.

“I wish to send my condolences to Anita’s sons and their families. I have known Anita since high school and she was a wonderful person to be a friend. After high school we lost touch, raising our own families, etc. and then we met up again at Cincinnati Milacron where I had been working and one day I saw her as a security guard at the guard’s office. I was so surprised! But she looked great in her uniform. I wonder if she is stationed at the “gates of Heaven” as her position given her there. She would make a good one. God Bless her and hopefully some day we will meet again!”

“Anita was beloved by my father Ernie Franklin and I wish I had known her better. I remember meeting her when we visited Ohio when I was twelve, and I loved her immediately. She had a baby on her hip and her smile lit up where ever she was. I wish we could have met one more time.”

“I met you and without question or concern, I was part of your Family and loved every minute of being included by you. You were always so supportive, kind and caring. My Niece, Alaina was blessed to have you as her Grandmother, but your love grew with Jenna, another beloved granddaughter. You so graciously showed your love to Em…. Just because …. My Darling, you inspired me to be a SAHM after you lost Jason, your words were so beautiful and profound. I pray for your soul healing and reunification with your loved ones and all of your beloved family you can watch over now. I will always think of you and love that I was blessed to know you xxxxxx”
