Jean F. Schroeder

   OTTAWA – Jean F. Schroeder, 97, of Ottawa died 2:07 p.m. Saturday, May 14, 2022, at Mercy Health St. Rita’s Medical Center.  She was born December 26, 1924, in Toledo to the late John and Virginia (Tubbs) MacPhie.  On March 2, 1946, she married Richard J. Schroeder, who preceded her in death on April 12, 1994.

   Jean is survived by 5 children:  Ken (Lisa) Schroeder of Continental, Barb (Lee) Twining of Ottawa, Jim “Buck” Schroeder of Fort Jennings, Diane (Steve) Burkholder of Columbus Grove and Bob (Ria) Schroeder of Celina;  14 grandchildren:  Jaime, Amanda, Jessica, Brent, Betsy, Ashley, Adam, Heather, Valerie, David, Joe, Sydney, Cory and Lauren Jean; 21 great-grandchildren; a sister-in-law:  Gail MacPhie of Georgia; 2 brothers-in-law:  Father Ken Schroeder of Celina and Clyde (Joan) Schroeder of Ottawa and several nieces and nephews.

   Jean was a homemaker and a member of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, Ottawa.  She was also a member of the church’s Prayer Chain and a former member of its Rosary Altar Society.  She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren very much and enjoyed having them over.  She was an avid fan of the Cincinnati Reds and the Ohio State University Buckeyes and was quite possibly one of the greatest Ottawa-Glandorf Titan fans around.
