Carol J. Schrawder

BALDWINVILLE - Carol J. (Vaine) Schrawder, 77, of 23 Forest Street, died peacefully Wednesday evening, November 9, 2016 at her residence with her family at her side.

She was born in Winchendon on April 14, 1939, daughter of the late Ovila and Ruth (Bushey) Vaine and was a 1957 graduate of Murdock High School.  Carol has been a resident of Baldwinville for the past 41 years.

Carol worked as the Office Manager at Morin Real Estate for several years until her retirement in 2004.  She was a member of the United Parish and its Bible Study group in Winchendon.  Her church, faith and the many special people of United Parish meant the world to her.  Her greatest enjoyment was spending time with her family, friends, her pugs Laila and Lola and especially her grandchildren.  Carol loved being a Grammie to her five beautiful grandchildren, spent countless hours attending their events and cherished each and every moment she spent with them.

Carol will be remembered by everyone who knew and loved her as a kind, loving, patient, generous, thoughtful, sweet person and the kind of friend everyone hopes they can have.  She always had a smile on her sweet face and a special glow in her beautiful eyes.  She was a beautiful person, a loving wife, and the best mother and grandmother that any family could ask for.  She will be sadly missed by everyone whose life she touched.

Besides her husband of 54 years, Charles A. "Chuck" Schrawder, she leaves her children, Marla J. Whittle and her husband Scott of Templeton and Brent A. Schrawder and his wife Elisha of Leominster; a stepson, Clayton A. Shaffer and his wife Julie of Westminster, CO; her sisters, Rochelle A. Doody of Winchendon, Nancy L. Toothaker of Tallahasee, FL and Linda S. Tobia of Winchendon; a brother, Steven C. Vaine of Winchendon; five grandchildren, Cameron, Conner, Sabrina, Breanna and Bryce, as well as several nieces and nephews.  Her son, Ryan C. Schrawder, preceded her in death in 2004.

Graveside services will be held Monday, November 14, 2016 at 12:30 PM in Greenlawn Cemetery, Bridge Street, Baldwinville.  The Rev. F. Calvin Miller will officiate.

There are no calling hours.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Ryan C.
