Thomas W. “Tom” Schmidt passed away on Friday, January 3, 2025, at the Marshfield Medical Center. Tom was a lifelong resident of Marshfield.
He was born on August 27, 1957, to Dorothy (Nikolai) and Fredrick Schmidt – the youngest of 11, being the second boy!
Tom attended Marshfield Schools. He married Sally Bores on October 3, 1980. Following his father’s trade, Tom was a meat cutter/butcher. His training was with his dad at Schmidt’s Processing Plant.
