On July 7, 2024, our most wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt and friend, Ruth Vonden Schroeder, passed away from this life to her heavenly home in the Morris Hospital at the age of 102 years and 9 months.
She will be dearly missed by her children, Dan (Joan) Schroeder, Wendi (Sieg) Neumann, Susan Chartier (Gilles Buisson), Jack (Debi) Schroeder, and Jeannie (Bill) McVicar as well as 14 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband John of 76 years, son-in-law Roger and her mother and sister Ruby and her family as well as all her in-laws.
Ruth was born the second daughter to Henry and Bertha Aebig in Winnipeg, Manitoba on September 20, 1921. Shortly after her birth, she moved to Nokomis, Saskatchewan with her mother and sister Ruby. She spent all her childhood and teen years on the family farm and in the town of Nokomis until she moved to Winnipeg after high school with her mother. She was employed at a bank as well as by a retired judge until she moved to Morris, Manitoba in 1949 with her husband John to run the greenhouse business.
She loved her large extended family and had a deep and abiding faith in God. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
A celebration of her life will take place at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, July 22 at the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Morris. There will be a private family burial. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to MCC or World Vision.

Dear Schroeder family, We too want to add our condolences at the passing of your Mother. She certainly had a long productive and God honoring life. We had the pleasure of many wonderful visits whenever your Dad and Mom would come to the Okanogan, something we have truly missed over the last number of years. We visited them in Morris as well and Ruth was always a welcoming and gracious hostess and John would entertain us with his many varied stories We were blessed indeed to know and have some special times with them. Our sincerest sympathy, love and prayers to you all. Ed & Anita - Posted by: Ed & Anita Thiessen (relative of Ruth's husband John) on: Jul 13, 2024
