Jean Clott Schroder

December 19, 2008

OFDA received word this morning Jean Clott Schroder, mother of Anne Gilligan the wife of OFDA Legal Counsel, Scott Gilligan, departed Friday, December 19, 2008 at the age of 87 years.

She was the treasured wife of the late Louis E. Schroder, loving mother of Louis Jr. (Christine) Schroder, Sara Schroder, Mary Frances (Richard) Balch, Mary Susan (Eugene) Lugowski, Mark (Mary) Schroder, Anne (Scott) Gilligan, John (Mamie) Schroder and the late Constance (Peter Eastman) Schroder, dear sister of Richard Clott and the late Mary Ruth Myers, cherished "Oma" of 19 grandchildren.

Jean had "joie de vivre" that attracted many friends both young and old. Refreshingly honest, she enjoyed sharing her views. An avid reader, Scrabble aficionado and crossword puzzler, she was a lover of words.

Mass of Christian Burial 10 AM Tuesday at St. Mary Catholic Church, Hyde Park, Cincinnati.
