Historian Grace Schmidt Dies

Retired librarian Grace Schmidt was known for being a walking encyclopedia, a woman so filled with details about the history of Waterloo Region that they named a room after her at the Kitchener Public Library.

But more than just knowledgeable, Schmidt was a tenacious protector of the region's history, refusing to let progress override what our pioneer ancestors had worked so hard to build. Not a file, a photo or an artifact could be threatened with disposal without Schmidt running to its rescue.

Schmidt died Sunday at the Fairview Mennonite Home in Cambridge at age 96 and it isn't an exaggeration to say the woman left a legacy few could match....

Miss Schmidt's contributions to the broader community have been paramount in preserving and celebrating the history and culture of this area. Grace Schmidt has received deserved recognition for her dedicated efforts in the past. Her honours include: induction into the Waterloo County Hall of Fame (1996); the Outstanding Achievement Award for volunteerism, given by the Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation (1995); the Waterloo Regional Heritage Foundation Award of Excellence (1991); the Alexander Fraser Award by the Ontario Association of Archivists; Kitchener-Waterloo Woman of the Year (1980).
