She married the love of her life,

They farmed south of Kirriemuir on
the Vert family homestead
until 1963 when they moved
to the “new farm” to be
closer to the main roads and
electricity.
To this union there were
six children born: Linda,

in community
Gregory John Schroeder
1934 – 2021
Gregory John Schroeder was born
in Craik, Sask. on April 29, 1934, the
only son of Greg and Josephine
Schroeder.
In 1942 the family moved to Talbot,
Alta. to the farm of Andrew Music
(Greg’s great-uncle). Greg moved twice
more with his parents but remained in
the area settling on the farmstead that
he eventually raised his own family
on.
Greg attended Talbot,
Clinton, and Brownfield
schools completing his Grade
10 before deciding to go into
farming with his father. He
also spent the winter of 1956-57
in Edmonton working at the
post office and then at the
municipal airport as a frame
mechanic on World War II
Harvard training planes.
On Nov. 10, 1962 he married
Mary Billingsley and they
started their family in 1964 in a mobile
home on the same farm site as Greg’s
parents.
In 1965 Greg’s parents moved to
Coronation and Greg and Mary moved
into the farmhouse. By 1969 they were
busy with six children, with two more
joining the family in the 1970s.
Greg was always actively involved in
the community. As a young man he
was a participant in 4-H, local baseball
and curling teams.
As he grew older, he was a local and
provincial leader involved with the
UFA, gas co-op, Talbot community,
Catholic Church, hospital board, 4-H,
and coaching his children’s baseball
teams as well as driving them to
numerous other activities and chaperoning
school and 4-H trips.
The doors of his home and strong
arms were open to the many friends of
his children, often being called ‘dad’ by
them: he knew that caring for his children
meant caring for their friends.
In 1995 he was awarded the East-
Central 4-H Award of Distinction and
in 1997 the Schroeder family were the
County of Paintearth representatives
for the Alberta Farm Family Award.
In 1997 Greg and Mary retired from
farming and moved to Stettler.
Greg became involved in the
community through the local food
bank, meals on wheels, volunteering at
the seniors lodges, and being part of
the Knights of Columbus.
Even once they had moved to Heart
Haven Lodge, he could be seen driving
his lawn mower across town to take
care of the Catholic Church lawn.
Greg was predeceased by his mother
and father; sister, Dolores; brother-inlaw,
Ford; niece, Sandra;
granddaughters, April and Cassandra;
great-grandson, Ash; and many aunts,
uncles and cousins.
Greg is survived by his
wife, Mary; sisters,
Bernadette and Kathleen
(Leo); children, Mary-Jo
(Russ), Melanie, Gregory
(Adele), Denise (Chris),
Loretta (Darryl), Teresa
(Don), Gary (Brenda), and
Brenda (Vance); 13 grandchildren,
eight
great-grandchildren, and
many cousins, nieces and
nephews.
Family connections were important
to Greg. He kept in touch with and
enjoyed travelling to see his extended
family across western Canada and the
U.S. and Europe.
A funeral mass was held for Greg on
Fri. Feb. 19 at the Christ King Catholic
Church in Stettler.
Internment will take place early
spring at the Coronation Cemetery.
Donations in memory of Greg are
gratefully accepted to a charity of your
own choice.

Mary also enjoyed playing table
games, especially Dominoes and
Aggravation.
Her bread making skills and her dill
pickle canning were well known to
many people. In fact, when her condo
was cleaned out, we found that she had
saved six jars of dills, one for each of
her kids.
Mary and Albert attended the
Kirriemuir Gospel Fellowship Church
where Mary taught Sunday School
classes and helped with other
programs.
In 1997, they made the hard decision
to leave the farm and move into
Consort. During that time they took
great pride in growing a huge vegetable
garden and many beautiful
flowers.
In 2007 they moved to Spruce
Terrace Condos in Stettler where they
made many friends. A few months
after Albert’s passing, Mary moved to
