July 20, 1922 --- August 30, 2013

Jeanette M. Schroder, 91, died August 30, 2013, at the Rehabilitation Center of Hampton. Private family services were held September 7 at Dugger Funeral Home in Belmond with internment at the Belmond Cemetery.

Jeanette Mae, the daughter of Elias L. and Hilma (Pierson) Klinefelter, was born on July 20, 1922 in Alexander. She graduated from Alexander High School with the Class of 1940. On September 10, 1941 she married Ernest E. Schroder in Princeton, MO. To this marriage was born four children: Ronald, Steven, Peggy and Nancy.

She was a longtime member of the Rebekah Lodge, a fraternal order and a service organization. As a Rebekah, Jeanette held various offices, including Noble Grand. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting, embroidering, crafting, and playing bridge with her friends. Jeanette was a devoted mother and grandmother. For several years she kept journals of weather, daily life, and trials and tribulations. In reading many of those entries she reminded us of how our family was constantly connected. For her, any time spent together made for a good day.

Jeanette was preceded in death by her husband Ernie; sisters Bernadine Chandler, Evenette Eden, Mildred Dorr and LaVonne McCoy; and her brother E.R. “Shorty” Klinefelter. She is survived by her children Ronald (Kathy) Schroder, Steven (Teresa) Schroder, Peggy (Al) Hansen, and Nancy (Lewis) Schaal; ten grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.
