Summary: Mary G. Schroeder, 70, of McGregor, ND, passed away August 10, 2024. A funeral service was held August 19, 2024, at the Zion Lutheran Church in McGregor, with Mike Olson officiating. Burial was at McGregor Cemetery. Mary was born March 21, 1954, at the Stanley Hospital to Raymond and Edna (Van Duyn) Mattson. She was raised and educated in Tioga. Mary was baptized and confirmed in the Zion Lutheran Church in Tioga. Mary was united in marriage to Gary Schroeder on September 1, 1974, and they had one daughter, Teresa. Mary lived life to the fullest. If you knew her, you knew she was “that crazy bingo lady”. Bingo was always eventful if Mary was there. Regardless if she was having a bad day, she still had a smile on her face. One of her favorite sayings started with “you buy them books; you send them to school... and what do they do?? They eat the......” We will let you finish that! Mary had a foul mouth but a heart of gold. She would give the shirt off her back for anyone who needed it. Every place she went, you could find her with her knitting bag. She also loved gambling and attending the Minnesota Wild hockey games. Her love for hockey grew when her granddaughter, McKenzie, started playing. You always knew when there was a game on because she was decked out in Minnesota Wild attire as though she was going to be jumping in and playing the hockey game herself. She enjoyed spending time with her daughter, Teresa, grandchildren, McKenzie and Paxten, and great-grandson, Keaton Gary. Mary’s absence will be felt immensely by all her family and friends and those who loved her most. Mary is survived by her daughter, Teresa Schroeder (Daren Barkie); grandchildren, Paxten and McKenzie (Nick Detienne); and great-grandson, Keaton Schroeder, all of Kenmare, ND; her sister, Janice (Mike Winter), of Fallon, MT; and numerous special nephews, nieces, cousins, friends, her special Bingo Players, and all members of American Legion Post. Mary was preceded in death by her parents, Raymond Mattson and Edna Mattson Odegaard; her husband, Gary Richard Schroeder; brothers, Lynn, Gerald, and James Mattson; stepfather, Nels Odegaard.
