*Obituary
Anna Jeanette Schmidt, 70, of Fayetteville; passed away peacefully Thursday, April 25, 2024, at her home. She was born the second of three daughters on Thursday, December 17, 1953, in Anaheim, California; to Alvin and Dolline Schmidt. Jeanette and family moved to Arkansas in 1967, and lived within a two county radius until the end. She traveled, laughed, and shared her gifts with everyone.
Jeanette was a loving mother of two children and dedicated many years to providing loving care to both her immediate and extended families, the upkeep of her home, and as a quality control director at Baldwin Piano Company, later Ayrshire Electronics. She was known for her warm, fun-loving nature and her deep affection for her family. In her leisure time, Jeanette cherished camping and fishing, trips with girlfriends, and found joy in expressing her creativity through arts and crafts.
Jeanette was preceded in death by her parents, Alvin and Dolline Schmidt; one great-grandson, Eliah Thacker, countless grandparents, and other loved ones. She is survived by her sons, Brian Bivens and his partner, Jared Tanksleary of Fayetteville; and Allen Bivens, of Saint Paul; five grandchildren, Shawn Bivens, Logan Bivens, Jaxon Bivens, Alexys Bivens, and Tristen Rowley; and five great-grandchildren, Christian Bivens, Kaitlyn Bivens, Shawn Bivens, Jr., Waylon Bivens, and Haylee Bivens. She is also survived by two sisters and one brother-in-law, Jeannine Masterson of Yellville; and Paulette and Gerald Duncan of Mt. Pleasant, Texas; way too many nieces, great-nieces, nephews, and great-nephews to mention. Her whole family will miss her immensely.
A celebration of life will be 4:00-8:00 PM, Friday, May 3, 2024, at Crosses Community Church, 5157 AR 295, Elkins. Flowers welcome. Cremation is entrusted to Brashears Funeral Home and Crematory of Huntsville.
