The Tehachapi News 
Elizabeth Ida Schmiel

Aug. 8, 1909 – Nov. 11, 2004

Elizabeth Ida Schmiel, 95, passed away peacefully at her home on Nov. 11. 

Betty was born on Aug. 10, 1909, in Philadelphia, Pa. She was raised by a 
loving mother, Mary, who taught her values that lasted throughout her life. 

In 1933, she met and married the love of her life, Oscar Schmiel. They were 
married 63 years before he passed away in 1997. In the late 1970s, Betty and 
Oscar left their Pennsylvania home and moved to Tehachapi to be near their 
daughters. They became very active in their church and with the lives of their 
grandchildren.

Betty actually attended two churches in Tehachapi, Mountain Bible Church and 
Christian Life Assembly. She was active in the "Energizers" group at Mountain 
Bible and also the Senior Group at Christian Life. 

Betty will be remembered as a gracious lady who loved the Lord. She left a 
wonderful legacy of strong faith and true devotion to all who knew her.

Betty is survived by her son, Dave Schmiel and wife Adele of Norristown, Pa.; 
daughters, Betsy Conklin and husband Sam and Carol Weston and husband Ed, all 
of Tehachapi; grandchildren, Gary and Sonya Conklin, Brian and Dawn Conklin, 
Christy and Brent Boyd and Laurie and Matt Breneman; great-grandchildren, 
Kyle, Kaylee and Elysse Conklin, Brooke, Jeffery and Andrew Boyd, Kevin 
Conklin and Andrew David Breneman; and numerous nieces and nephews.

A graveside funeral service is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. at the 
Tehachapi Public Cemetery Westside, with visitation earlier that morning from 
11 a.m. to 1 p.m at Wood Family Funeral Service. A memorial service is also
