Madelyn Schroeder
November 22, 1931 – March 2, 2025
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, Madelyn Schroeder, on March 2, 2025, at the age of 93.
She is now reunited with her husband, Harry (2011), and daughter, Susan (2023).
Madelyn is lovingly remembered by her children: Diane (Oz) of Essex, ON, Katherine (Jason) of Burnaby, BC, and Kim (Ruth Ann) of Windsor, ON.
She was known as ‘Grandma’ to Marissa and affectionately as ‘MG’ to Benson and RaeAnn.
Born on November 22, 1931, on the family farm in Mossyvale, Saskatchewan, Madelyn was one of 11 children born to Cassandra and Frank Morris,
Romanian immigrants who built a life on the prairies. She was predeceased by her siblings: Mary, Lena, Peter, Annie, Bill, George, Frank, Jenny,
Katie, and Jack, and was the last surviving member of her generation.
In October 1952, Madelyn moved to Windsor, Ontario, where she married Harry Schroeder and built a beautiful life filled with love and family.
She dedicated over 35 years as a Nurse’s Aide at Grace Hospital, where she cared for countless mothers and newborns on the maternity floor
with kindness and compassion.
Madelyn had a green thumb and took immense pride in her gardens, growing plants and flowers with love and care. She was also an exceptional cook
and baker, known for filling her home with warmth, love, and the aroma of homemade meals.
A special thank-you to the staff at The Villages of Aspen Lakes for their continued support and compassion over the past three years.
