Maureen Schade Obituary

Maureen Schade passed away October 9, 2013. She loved life to its fullest as Rob's wife for nearly 50 years, Mike and Joan's Mom (in law) and Tim, Sarah and Katherine's Grandma. Maureen was a sister (in law) and an aunt to many. She spent her life giving to all of us and lived life with humor, love and a deep sense for and love of her family. Maureen succumbed to a heart attack after surviving for 16 1/2 years following a significant stroke. Maureen's continual positive attitude and bright outlook was an inspiration to all of us and taught us that all good, including life, comes through hard work and perseverance. A memorial celebration of Maureen's life will be held on November 30, 2013 on the 50th anniversary of her marriage to Rob. Donations in Maureen's honor may be made to Salute, Inc. http://www.saluteinc.org/
