11, 2006, at Mobberly Baptist Church. Mrs. Schroeder passed away on Friday, 
October 27, 2006, after a long illness. Jean was born June 6, 1931, in 
Minneapolis, Minnesota, the daughter of Douglas and Dorothy Mackenzie. Upon 
graduating high school, she became a legal secretary and traveled to Japan, 
where she met and married her husband, Henry C. Schroeder Jr. Mrs. Schroeder 
spent most of her life living in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a homemaker and 
legal secretary. She was a life master bridge player and teacher. She loved 
to sew, garden, and read, and she was an excellent cabinet maker. She had 
many pieces of furniture for her friends, family, or by commission. Jean was 
always one to share her knowledge with others, helping us all to become 
better people. Mrs. Schroeder was preceded in death by her husband, Henry 
Schroeder Jr.; and her brother, Jack Mackenzie. She is survived by her 
daughter, Sandra Jean Baker and her husband, Bill M. Baker; and their two 
children, Jeremy John Baker and Amy Elizabeth Leonard, and her husband, 
Randall Leonard. The family would like to extend their appreciation and 
thanks to the wonderful staff at Heart'sWay Hospice and the caring people 
who opened their hearts at Mobberly Baptist Church.
