Elfrieda Mary Ann Schroeder, 88, of Oxnard, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her children, on the evening of October 22, 2015.

Frieda, as she was known to most, was born on November 19, 1926 in Anaheim, California. As a small child, she relocated to Oxnard with her mother, and remained there for all but a few years of her life.

She attended Woodrow Wilson Elementary School and graduated from Oxnard Union High School in 1944. It was in her school years where and when she met her future husband, classmate Charles Schroeder.

Elfrieda and Charles married in 1949 and settled into the family home built by Charles, the home where they raised their three children and where she lived until she passed.

As a young adult, Frieda worked for a short time at a men's clothing store in Santa Barbara, however her most important job was being a homemaker and raising her children. Elfrieda was a warm, kind, and loving individual whose smile and encouragement will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Over the years, Frieda volunteered many hours to her church activities including singing in the choir, playing handbells, serving in various capacities in the women's league, and making quilts for the homeless and veterans. She enjoyed traveling, shopping, painting ceramic pieces, crocheting, baking Christmas cookies, and reading.

Elfrieda is survived by her children: daughter, Linda and husband Bill Young of Newbury Park; son, Ronald and wife Dorothea Schroeder of Oxnard; daughter, Karen Schroeder of Lakewood, CA; two grandchildren, Michael Young and Kimberli Chiles; and three great-grandchildren Andrew, Joshua, and Allison Young.

Elfrieda was preceded in death by her mother, Elfrieda Muller; husband, Charles; and grandson, Kristopher Young.
