Lois Loretta Schroeder (nee Zadow)
May 21, 1930 – March 8, 2023
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lois Loretta Schroeder, peacefully at the Fairmount Home near Kingston.
She is survived by her sister, Barbara Kant of Eganville and her five children and their spouses: Janet MacDonald (Joe Mommertz) of Kingston; Nancy Bruce (Tim Bruce) of Sackville, N.B.; Rodney Schroeder (Debbie Johnson) of Val Caron, ON; Russell Schroeder (Monique Dignard) ofChuburna, Yucatan, MX and Tammy Reynolds (Peter Reynolds) of Orangeville, ON.
Beloved grandmother to Victoria, Jennifer, Jessica, Joe Jr., Heather, Henry, Cristalle, Melissa, Jessica, Jacob, Angele, Leah, Olivia and Gabrielle.
Great-grandmother to Roger, Katie, Willeke, Olivia, Jordan, Ainsley, Grayson, Ellia, Lucas, Marcus, Austin, Caleb, Athena, Isabelle, Callem and Pierson.
Lois was predeceased by her husband, Harold John Schroeder, whom she married in 1949; her sister, Beatrice Jessup; and by her parents, Ena and Lorne Zadow, all of Eganville.
She was born in Pembroke and grew up on a farm near Eganville. She later relocated with Harold and their children to the Sudbury area. In her later years, she lived in Kingston with Janet and Joe and then in the Fairmount Home in Glenburnie.
Lois will be remembered first and foremost for being a loving and devoted mother to her five children, a dedicated wife and a caring person to her family, relatives and the community. She was an incredibly selfless and compassionate woman who always put others before herself.
We will also remember Lois for her love of music, playing both the guitar and piano, and her dancing. Additionally, she will be remembered for her devotion to the church and her volunteer work. She was a long-time member of St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in Kingston and other churches in the various places that she lived throughout her life. So many people have been touched by Lois’s kind, generous and charitable heart and will never forget her impact on them and their lives. To know her was to love her.
Lois will be deeply missed by many and never forgotten.
We would like to extend our gratitude to the outstanding personnel at the Fairmount Home in Glenburnie for providing such loving care to Lois over the years.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lymphoma Canada.
