Jean Mary Schroeder, 68, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2020 at her home after her battle with pancreatic cancer.
She was born in Wisconsin on May 19, 1952 to Elaine Mrozinski. Jean was adopted into a loving home by George and Bernice (Hall) Stanek.
Jean graduated from Hillsboro Highschool in 1970. She was blessed with two beautiful daughters, Melissa and Tia, and was married to Mark Schroeder for 20 years.
She had a big heart that was evident through her enjoyment of sewing for family and friends. It was also apparent through her adoration of animals, especially cats and hummingbirds. Quite the social butterfly, Jean adored getting together to spend time with her family and friends; even to go thrift-shopping or “rummage-saling”. She also enjoyed time spent traveling and reminiscing on her time spent abroad.
Jean is survived by her birth mother Elaine (Mrozinski) Einwiller, daughters Melissa (David) Greco and Tia Schroeder (Adam Schlifer); grandkids Leonardo and Isabella Greco; sisters Joan (Rich) Klein and Robin (Michael) Nyderek; brother Keith (Claudia) Einwiller; nephew Kevin (Amy) Erlewein, niece Catina Mack, and great nieces.
She was preceded in death by her parents George and Bernice Stanek, and nephew Timothy Erlewein.
The family would like to thank relatives, friends, Gundersen Oncology and Hospice, and Grace for their support and love.

I wish to extend my sincere sympathy to all of Jean’s family. I bowled with her in Hillsboro and enjoyed getting to know her. She was very gentle and kind. I’ll remember her with a smile in my heart.
My Beautiful friend Jeannie. I have always loved you. So sad you are gone, but cant wait to see you again in our Lords house.
Hi, My name is Maralee Moellendorf (Molly) and I was Mary-Jean’s Home Economics teacher in 1970 during 1st. hour. This was my first teaching experience and I am glad she was a part of it. Mary-Jean was a very energetic and wonderful student. I am glad she enjoyed sewing. To her family I wish them comfort in knowing that she is in Heaven waiting for each of us. God bless and comfort you! Molly
