Mrs. Schroeder was a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church of Milford and was also a member of the Dorcas Society. She was a wonderful and loving housewife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Her grandkids and great-grandkids were the highlight of her life the past few years. Edna and Bob owned and operated Schroeder’s Rec Room in Milford.

They both loved all of the kids that they met and watched grow up in the 13 years of business.
