VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE PASSING OF DR. CAITLIN G. SCHMIDT OF COLUMBIA, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Caitlin G. Schmidt of Columbia on April 8, 2010; and
Whereas, Dr. Schmidt began her journey through life on October 24, 1971, in Buffalo, New York, to the thrill and joy of her parents, Jan and John Schmidt. Raised in a fine family of three children, brother Evan, sister Gillian, and young Caitlin, she excelled in the arts, academics, and athletics and enjoyed helping those around her; and
Whereas, when Caitlin grew up, that same excellence translated into a medical career as an obstetrician/gynecologist, in preparation for which she graduated from Wake Forest University in 1992 and Bowman Gray School of Medicine in 1996. After completing her residency, she began practicing medicine in Columbia, where she met and married Eligio R. Colon. Together they brought two new lives, Juliana Isabel and Evan Manuel, into the world and stepdaughter Ana Karina into her heart; and
Whereas, in 2005, Dr. Schmidt was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. She continued her practice, finding that keeping busy with patients helped both her and her patients. When the cancer spread to her shoulder in late 2006, she closed her practice, devoting time to treatment, family, friends, and gardening. She worked to improve and sustain the Montessori and arts programs at Logan Elementary School and volunteered to carry the message of awareness as Palmetto Health Foundation's 2008 Featured Survivor. She was doing volunteer work and planting her vegetable garden in the last days before she passed on; and
Whereas, few people are able to bring so much joy and depth of care into the lives of those they meet as Dr. Caitlin Schmidt did. She will be remembered with affection and gratitude for many years to come. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Dr. Caitlin G. Schmidt of Columbia and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mr. Eligio R. Colon for the family.
