Abram Schroeder

Born March 9, 1929, to parents Henry and Maria Schroeder in the family home in Altona, Manitoba. Abe passed away peacefully, attended by his family, at the Abbotsford Hospital on October 20, 2026 at the age of 97.

Abe is survived by his children, 2 boys: Ian (Rose) Schroeder and Martin (Bonnie) Schroeder, daughter Linda (Tony) Neudorf, 10 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.

Abe was predeceased by his wife of 52 years Norma (nee Blaine) and daughter Mona Cross.

Over the years Abe owned and operated various local businesses including Clearbrook Sporting Goods. Through his business endeavours and involvement in the community, he generously sponsored many local teams and events.

Abe was a man of strong faith who valued prayer and service to others. His faith was an important part of his life and he dedicated time and resources to Missions work, supporting and building orphanages, and helping provide medical supplies to those in need worldwide.

To his children and grandchildren, Abe was an anchor and a constant and valued source of wisdom to the end of his life.

Abe will be remembered for his generosity, his faith, his commitment to his family, and the many, many, lives he touched throughout his 97 years.
