Jeanette was born on June 18, 1928, the daughter of John and Helen (Hector) DeVries in Elma. After completing her education, she worked on the family farm. A young neighboring farmer caught her eye. On Jan. 30, 1941, she was united in marriage to Dale Schroeder. The couple made their home on a farm near Elma where they welcomed their two children, Pat and Vicki. In 1963, the couple moved their family to Alta Vista, when they purchased Schroeder Meat Locker. They retired in the late 1980s. 
In her down time, Jeanette enjoyed sewing, upholstery work, shooting pool, playing cards and games and socializing. It was said that she didn’t meet a stranger and kept young by staying active. She most enjoyed spending time with her granchildren.
Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Pat (Connie) Schroeder of Pine Island, Minn. and Vicki (Joe Huber) Halvorson of Cresco; her grandchildren, Jacob (Millie) Halvorson of Castle Rock, Colo., Christian Trafelet of Cresco, Jodee (Denny) Ungs of New Hampton, Iowa, Dustin (Jen) Schroeder of Pine Island, Derek (Jenny) Schroeder of Pine Island, Dana (Emily) Schroeder of St. Charles, Minn. and Lindsay (Dave) Costello of Charleston, S.C.; 12 great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
