Delores Yvonne (Schmidt) Nagel was born at Marshfield, Missouri on December 21, 1934 to George Fred Schmidt and Olive (Martin) Schmidt. She was an addition to a family who then had 5 children; Margaret, Wayne, Betty, Arch and Helen. Her birth was followed by the births of Ted, Eunice, Norene and Herbert for a total of 10 children in her family.
Delores graduated from high school and soon met Boyd George Nagel, joining him in marriage in 1954. They made their home in Springfield, Missouri. The year following they rejoiced in the birth of their first child, Charlotte Kay. Four years later (1959) they welcomed their only son, William (Bill) Doyle. Carole Anne blessed their lives with her birth in 1973. Charlotte and her husband Alan Pierce gave her six grandchildren to love: David, Laurie, Kenneth, Johnathan, Jacob, and Joshua. William Doyle brought Kevin Liles and Misty Reno for her to enjoy. Carole Anne and her husband Keith Eddings brought Brennan and Breannah to her life to help her and for her to love in her latter years. She also had 8 great-grandchildren.
Delores is known by her friends and family as a wonderful, caring person. She is “Mom” to many people and is remembered for her excellent cooking and hospitality to all. We are proud to say she is our mom and thank God he chose to give her to us. Her children and grandchildren have always been the most important things in her life and she loved each and every one of them.
Through her many health struggles over the past 20 years, she remained strong and a blessing to all with whom she came in contact.
Thank you Lord for allowing her to be a blessing to us all the 77 years of her life.
Delores Yvonne has the testimony of accepting Christ as her Savior as a teenager and is now happily in Heaven with her Lord and Savior. We know she would want all her friends to share her faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
