Wendy Schroeder

July 2, 2019

SCHROEDER, Wendy

It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Wendy Diane Schroeder (née Parker) on Tuesday, July 2, 2019, at the age of 49 years. Wendy is lovingly remembered by the love of her life, her devoted husband, Jerry; her parents, Marge and Stan Parker; her siblings, Michele Green (Hal Larson), Susan, and Keith (Becca Ulrich). Also mourning are Jerry’s family; Mary, Edwin (Marie Wood), Bryan (Larissa), Julia (Jan Thijs), and many loved aunts, uncles, nephews, cousins, and amazing friends—particularly her soul sister, Niki Sokulski. Wendy’s “boys,” Dax, Tucker, and Cisco (her dogs) will miss her terribly.

Wendy was a radiant, beautiful woman with an extraordinary range of talents. A woman of profound environmental convictions, she urged us to be mindful of our impact on the planet. She had a rebel spirit and used some of her spark to fight for the dignity of all living beings. She was also a gifted artist who loved sharing knowledge from Wendy’s Garden of Eatin’, and because of her need to help people, created Wendy’s Apothecary.

Wendy was remarkably creative. She cultivated a life vibrant with passion and beauty for Jerry and herself on their acreage near Sundre. She leaves behind her a legacy of a life in full bloom cut far too short; but so many memories of great times with friends by the fire pit or by the river.

A Celebration of Wendy’s Life will be held at the Elks Lodge, 113 1 Ave SW, Sundre, Alberta, on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 2:00 pm. Light refreshments will follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to medicineriverwildlifecenter.ca.
