A spaghetti dinner is set for 1-5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, at the American Legion Post 141, 3265 W. Grand River Ave. in Howell, to raise funds for the family of Cassandra Schmidt.

Schmidt, who died Sept. 5 at the age of 42, was a paramedic with the Livingston County EMS for 10 years before completing her degree and becoming a charge nurse at Trinity St. Joseph Mercy Livingston Hospital in Howell.
She leaves behind her husband Chris, a firefighter, as well as three children, sons Tristan and Jackson, and daughter Ciel.
The event is open to the public with the goal of raising money to help Schmidt’s family.
Organizers are seeking donations of all levels to use for raffle prizes during the event.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children, and will be available at the door. There will be a cash bar.
For more information or to make a donation, call Lisa Gramza at (810) 360-8722, or Kelly Rambles at (248) 302-8893.
