Obituary

Please join us for a Celebration of Life in Loving Memory of Carol Jeanne Schleder, who passed away on Sunday, January 16, 2022. Carol was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Lincoln, Illinois. We will gather at this location on Saturday, April 16th from 12 pm-2 pm, in her honor; friends and family are invited.

Carol was born on April 7, 1943 to Clarence and Mary Maxey. She graduated from Lincoln Community High School, the Class of 1961. She served as a class officer and was active in the music department. Carol married James Schleder on September 6, 1964, and they had two sons, Rodney and Brett Schleder. Carol’s daughter-in-law(s) Melissa (Rodney) and Lauren (Brett) Schleder, blessed her with several grandchildren, who always delighted her. She will be missed by: Zachary, Kathryn, Lincoln, and Jameson.

Upon death, Carol, 78 was reunited with her sister Sheron (Maxey) Ramlow, and brother’s Gary and Rob Maxey.

Carol was also blessed to have a wonderful family, who loved her very much, and will be dearly missed by many, including her sister-n-law(s) Linda (Gary), and Cyndi (Rob) Maxey; and by her nieces and nephew, Alexa, Phelan, and Ryan.

Many remember Carol through her employment at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital (40 yrs), Davis and Associates, Hazel Albert Real Estate, The Tropics and Stahl Furniture Company.

Carol’s friends and family will recall her sweet spirit, love of dancing, interior decorating, flower gardening, and entertaining at the holidays - which usually included a tin of her famous divinity.

The family would like to thank the staff of Timberlake Estates for their kindness and care of Carol throughout her battle with leukemia. Those close to Carol are also deeply touched by the many acts of kindness that supported her through difficult days. Thank you for your letters, visits, special gifts, phone calls, and travel. Thank you for all that you contributed, in love and support of Carol.
