Veronika Nowading, age 79 of Maryville, passed away on Friday, November 5, 2021, and is back in the arms of her husband of 50 years, David Carl Nowading. She was born in Dresden Germany during the war and lived in Germany until she met David, an American Air Force service man.

She was a kind and loving mother that delighted in helping her children grow and create; a talented educator and friend to her Girls Preparatory School colleagues and students. She loved living close to the mountains and greatly enjoyed her water aerobics classes with all the ladies at Blount Memorial Wellness Center. She passed her retirement days by letting the pets in and out, in and out of the house. She is preceded in death by her father, Dr. Karl Eugen Schmidt and mother, Rosalie Margarete Fischer Schmidt; twin sister, Stephanie Schmidt; nephew, Florian Von Rudloff; and cousin, Dr. Klaus-Dieter Schmidt.
