Roseina’s memory will be forever cherished by her daughters, Marlene (Bob) Craig, Joyce (Bob) Skuce, Donna (Pat) Slater and Sheila (Rob) Singleton, as well as her many beloved grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will also be lovingly remembered by her brother Bill (Betty) Curtis and sister Eva Schrader; sisters-in-law, Yvette Long, Betty (Albert) Nelson and Elaine Curtis, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Roseina was predeceased by her parents, William and Ada Curtis; husband Corwin Schrader; son Larry Schrader in infancy; grandson Curtis Slater; siblings, Gertrude, Irene, Dennis and Mel; parents-in-law, Albert and Freeda Schrader, and her special in-laws. Roseina’s faith in God never wavered and that faith seen her through the storms of life. Her devotion to the Lord is the example she set, not only for her family, but for everyone. She always had a scripture to share and made sure we all knew who Jesus was and is. Roseina’s treasured and well worn Bible was her guide for life and she studied it faithfully, reading cover to cover 17 times and memorizing countless verses. She loved everyone and everyone loved her. She had a very forgiving heart and could never stay angry. She believed in saying sorry first no matter what the situation. On August 27, 1946 she married Corwin Schrader. A very devoted wife, she worked alongside him for much of her life while also caring for their four daughters. She considered being a wife and mother to be the greatest calling for a woman and she excelled at it — baking, cooking, cleaning, teaching and loving her beloved family. She truly was an angel here on earth. Her daughters feel so grateful to have been blessed with such an awesome mom. Roseina also loved to knit and crochet, making beautiful doilies, doll clothes and a special sweater set for each new grandchild, which will forever be a special keepsake. She loved to rock and sing to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She had a special touch with the babies and they brought great joy to her as she loved them dearly. Roseina will surely be missed by all who knew and loved her. Heaven gained a very special angel February 8th. We will all miss her so very much but also celebrate her beautiful life. Her life was lived with the goal of spending eternity with the Lord and we rejoice in that. We love you mom, grandma and GG-Ma.
