The Bakersfield Californian 
Margaret Schroeder
Feb. 11, 1916 Sept. 15, 2004

Margaret was born as the youngest of twins to John and Mina Stotts on February 
11, 1916 in Oil Center, CA. She attended local schools and was the only one of 
her siblings to graduate from high school. She attended Kern High which is 
known today as Bakersfield High. 

In 1937, Margaret married Henry Schroeder of Wasco, and they lived most of 
their married life in Bakersfield. They had two daughters, Linda (Galer) of 
Seattle and Ann Schroeder. Margaret was a homemaker and lifelong lover of 
animals. There was never a stray cat that she would not befriend and provide a 
home for.

Margaret was preceded in death by her husband Henry; her twin, Helen 
Ruettgers; sisters, Madeline Stotts, Evelyn Thomas; and brothers, Gerald and 
Ralph Stotts.

In 2000, Margarets health became fragile and she was invited to share the home 
of one of her twin sisters daughters, Brenda Barker. She lived comfortably for 
the past four years with the love and attention of Brenda and her sister, 
Joyce Collins and cousin Diane and Milton Rudnick, and special friend Thelma 
Ryan.

Others left to cherish her memory are son-in-law Don Galer and grandchildren, 
Curtis Koch of Seattle, Kathleen and Joseph Orazio of Phoenix and Mark Koch of 
San Francisco; and nephews Bill & Nadia Laird and Brent & Carolyn Laird. Also, 
Brendas children, Marquetta & Dave Cota and John Barker along with Joyces 
children, Michael & Laurie Collins, Kevin and Gloria Collins, Brian & Betsy 
Collins and Erin & Danny Carmona; as well as many other nieces & nephews.

A celebration of her life will take place Friday, 2 p.m. at Hillcrest Memorial 
Chapel, Hillcrest Memorial Park & Mortuary. In lieu of flowers the family 
suggests donations to the S.P.C.A. at 3000 Gibson Street, Bakersfield, CA 
93308.
