Carol B. (Harrison) Schmitt (1925-2017)

It is with great sadness that I must pass on the news of the passing of Carol B. Schmitt. Those who attended the 2015 Babb Reunion in Reedsburg, WI will remember Carol as the mother of our host and tour guide John Schmitt. Carol was the daughter of Aubrey Harrison & Ruth Babb and is, of course, a descendant of the legendary James Wilson Babb who helped found the city of Reedsburg.

She didn’t let age slow her down and was always on the move during the reunion. I send me condolences to her family and wish Carol Godspeed in her next journey. Her obituary and the funeral card are attached. Thanks to Marjorie A. Rhodes for forwarding this information.
