MARY AUDREY SCHROEDER
Our Wonderful, Kind and Intelligent Mother left this world on Tuesday, April 5, 2023.
She was born in Winnipeg on April 12, 1924 and had a wonderful childhood surrounded by loving parents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Mom was predeceased by her parents, Christopher MacKay and Hilda MacKay as well as her brother Bill MacKay and son Dr. Garry Schroeder.
Mom is survived by her children, Chris (Joanne), Carolyn (John), Paul (Cathy), grandchildren, Eric, Joe, Brent (Erin) and great-grandchildren, Noelle, Elina and Zavi.
Mom worked for over 50 years as a volunteer secretary with the Canadian Legion's Women's Auxiliary. She would drive from Fort Garry to St. James, in the early evening, even if the weather was snowy and slippery to fulfill her volunteer duties.
She also had a group of friends who met every morning at Tim Horton's. They were so liked at Tim Hortons that the manager named them the Morning Glories. This wonderful group of ladies enriched our Mom's life with many happy years of companionship.
Mom was a season ticket holder with the RWB, the Manitoba Theatre Centre and the Manitoba Opera. She was also keenly interested in world events.
Mom lived her final few years at Brightwater Senior Living of Tuxedo where she was surrounded by kindness and excellent care.
A life of almost 99 years is indeed a long life, but always too short for those who loved her and needed her.
Her love and laughter will forever be missed.
Thank you to our beautiful Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother for all your care, honesty and kindness. You were a beautiful person and anyone who knew you was blessed.
A family memorial service will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, should people wish to donate, the Winnipeg Humane Society was one of her favourite charities as she loved all animals.

It was with such sadness, Paul, that we learned of Marion’s passing. My Mum, Rena, was Marion’s tablemate in the Arbour and as a regular visitor I came to know her so well … such a lovely, dear hearted lady. Her Arbour friends miss her very much. How truly amazing to have had a life journey spanning 99 years! May she now rest peacefully. Thinking of you and your family as you mourn the loss of a wonderful Mum.
