Together they traveled all over the United States, frequently visiting Disney World. They had a great fondness for Alaska and were there three times, fishing for salmon and enjoying the wilderness landscapes.

A beer garden in Munich was on the itinerary on a trip to Europe. After Mr. Schroeppel’s passing, Mrs. Schroeppel still had the urge to see new things and went on frequent trips with senior groups.

Rebecca wanted to see Egypt and along with seeing the pyramids they went for a camel ride.

At home, Mrs. Schroeppel truly loved being a homemaker. She loved to cook, spend time in her garden “riding the mower till her son put an end to that!” and sewing everything from clothing to drapes, curtains and stuffed animals for her grandchildren. She was the very proud mother of an Eagle Scout and an active member of her church wherever she lived, and she tirelessly attended school events with her grandchildren. While in New York Mrs. Schroeppel worked for Suffolk County in the department of consumer affairs.

She spent her last years at Peregrine Landing at the Shoreline, not far from the beach in Clinton, CT, where she walked as often as she could. She collected shells every time she went. “For eight years she enjoyed the love and care of a truly amazing staff. Her family is profoundly grateful to each of them for all they have done and especially for all kindnesses we will never know.”

Left behind are: children, Rick and PL Schroeppel of Hollowville and Diane and Rick Johnson of Ivoryton CT; grandchildren, Matthew, Dan and Luke Johnson, Alison, Rebecca, Rob and Shannon Schroeppel and great-granddaughters, Willa Annabelle and Etta Annalise Schroeppel. “She will be sadly missed but goes to heaven where we know there is a celebration in her honor.”
