Kaethe Schroeder

After a long full life, Kaethe passed away peacefully at Bethania Mennonite Personal Care Home. Kaethe was pre-deceased by her parents, Peter and Olga Rempel, her loving husband, John Schroeder and son, John Schroeder Jr.

Her memory will be held close and dear by her surviving sister, Irma Penner of B.C., son Rick Schroeder, and her many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, relatives and friends.

Kaethe was born in the Ukraine and immigrated to Canada in 1948 with her mother and sister. Her father was reunited with the family in Winnipeg 19 years later.

It was in Winnipeg that Kaethe was reacquainted with John Schroeder, whom she married on July 21st, 1951 in a double wedding with her sister. In time, Kaethe and John adopted 2 sons, John Anthony and Richard Scott.

After coming to Canada with few possessions, Kaethe and John worked together to build a very rewarding life. They established a successful construction company in partnership with John's sister and brother-in-law, "Schroeder and Lebtag Construction".

The family would like to thank all those who lovingly cared for Kaethe at Bethania PCH.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to a charity of your choice.

Service will be held at 10:00 am on Friday, January 16, 2015 with viewing taking place 30 minutes prior to service, a reception will follow. Interment at Glen Eden.
