In Loving Memory of Mildred Schroeder

Mildred Schroeder will be lovingly remembered for her devotion to her family, her deep faith in God, her love of life and the many memories she created with those closest to her.

Mildred was born to Bernhard and Anne Wall on May 3, 1948, and grew up on a farm near Lowe Farm with her sister Doreen and brothers: Harvey, Rodney, Stanley, Gordon, Raymond, Laverne and Bradley. She later married the love of her life, Eldon Schroeder, on May 6, 1966.Together, they built a life and raised their family on a farm near Lowe Farm. Through hard work and dedication, they eventually built and operated two hog barns, creating a home and livelihood together.

Mildred and Eldon shared many adventures throughout the years. They especially enjoyed camping and going on Harley rides together, making memories and enjoying the freedom of the open road. These were some of the special moments that brought them happiness. Mildred also loved meeting people and making new friends wherever she went.

Mildred also enjoyed sewing and knitting, and she made many baby blankets which she blessed loved ones with over the years.

Family was at the heart of Mildred’s life. Her three children and ten grandchildren meant the world to her, and she cherished the time she spent with each of them. Her love for her children and grandchildren was something she carried proudly.

When it was time to slow down, relax and enjoy retirement, Mildred and Eldon made the move to Winkler, where they could enjoy a quieter pace of life and reflect on the many years and memories they had shared.

Mildred will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her husband, Eldon and children:

• Byron and his wife Carol, and their children Tori, Shayna and Mya.
• Curt and his wife Briggy, and their children Leeza (Lane), Haley (Devin), Kayla (Stephen), Ashley and Tyler
• Lindsay and her children Dylan and Anika.

Mildred leaves behind a family who will forever treasure the memories, laughter, adventures and the love they shared with her.

Her love for her family, her enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures, and the memories she created along the way will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.

After a short battle with cancer, she went to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on November 5, 2026.
