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. |
