Mary “Jill” (Wedewer) Schaudt, 57, passed away at her home in Sagle, Idaho on October 8, 2007. A celebration of Jill’s life will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, August 2, 2008 at the Lakeview Cemetery in Sandpoint with Charley Packard officiating. A reception will follow at the Schaudt residence. Jill was born in Manchester, Iowa on Jan. 14, 1950 to Alfred and Genevieve (Hogan) Wedewer, and grew up in Dyersville, IA. She attended the University of Iowa where she met her husband Bill in 1973. They were married Dec. 26, 1975 in Breckenridge, Colorado. Jill and Bill lived in Colorado for four years before moving to Sandpoint, Idaho in 1977, and later to Sagle. Jill worked as a bookkeeper and administrative assistant at Sandpoint Marina and Cedar Street Electric, as a bookkeeper for the Sagle Fire Department and as a banker at Panhandle State Bank. She also worked as a Realtor’s assistant at Panhandle Kaniksu prior to retiring. Jill was a long time member of the Lake Pend Oreille Idaho Club. Jill was a writer, loved to bake cookies, collect rocks, and read. She loved to read fiction above all, but also enjoyed well-written biographies, true stories, and reference materials, especially cultural history. Jill believed that a life of reading is a life of learning and that no other pastime is so rewarding. That is, until, in June 2004, when Jill discovered scrapbooking and card making. These activities allowed her imagination and creativity to flow, and best of all, it provided her an avenue to share her talents with countless others. Jill was known for her creative style and imagination, her love and compassion for animals, her genuine curiosity and generosity. She will be remembered for her warmth and acceptance of friends and strangers. Jill will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Jill is survived by her husband of 31 years, William T. “Bill” Schaudt whom she described in one of her scrapbooks as her “rock”, particularly during her illness. She is also survived by her son William Andrew “Andy” of Chritiansburg, VA, about whom she wrote, “Andy makes me so proud that I can’t even describe how he has filled up my heart.” Other survivors are her sister Ellen Limebrook (Bill) of Lake Elsinore, CA; brothers Bill Wedewer (Maria) of Hayden, ID; Paul Wedewer (Connie) of Aurora CO; Dan Wedewer (Marti) of Morrison, CO; nine nieces and nephews and eight grand nieces and nephews. A memorial celebration will be held at a later date. It was Jill’s wish that memorial contributions be made to the East Bonner County Library, 1407 Cedar Street, Sandpoint, ID 83864. Donations in Jill’s name will be used solely for the purchase of new books. Lakeview Funeral Home in Sandpoint is handling the arrangements.
