Arletta Schmid

MADISON- Arletta Emily (Porter) Schmid, age 92, of Sun Prairie/Madison, passed away on Thursday, March 26, 2020, at her Madison home with her daughters by her side. She was born on Feb. 27, 1928, in Lowville, Wis., the daughter of Edmund and Marie (Kutz) Porter. Arletta married Vernon Schmid on Oct. 6, 1956, in Madison. Arletta graduated from Sun Prairie High School in 1950 and was a farm girl for many years with a passion for chickens, both on the farm and in her home decor. Favorite things in her life included chocolate, little kids, word searches and cookies of any kind. Arletta attended all the local parades and festivals and if there was a band playing somewhere, that is where she would be. She was a very quiet, gentle, righteous and obedient person who will be missed by all who truly knew her. Arletta is survived by her three daughters, Sandra (James) Robinson, Julie Schmid and Jerrilyn Schmid; two grandsons, Nick Robinson and Mike Robinson (friend Monica Miller); two great-grandsons, Dylan Robinson and Tayvence Robinson; sister, Julaine Stroede; and many relatives and friends. She is preceded in death by her husband, Vernon; parents, Edmund and Marie Porter; and her three brothers, Elgin, Dale and Merlyn. During this time of unprecedented health concerns and the fast-changing public health circumstances, a private family service will be held at Roselawn Memorial Park.
