My Grandma was born in May the 29 of 1943 to Clarence Brown and Frances Mary! She has two brother Jerry Gibson and Bill Brown. In her life she was married a few times and had two children. David Lee Schaeffer Jr (whom is my father) and also Randal Dale Schaeffer. 

She had one grandchild Maryann Marie Fitzgerald (Schaeffer) and two great-grandchildren BreAnna Marie Schaeffer and Zachary David Earle. Over the years grandma adopted other great-grandchildren Brayden Tyler Bratcher, Jayden Austin Bratcher Jacklynn Kaye Wright and Melanie Leeann Earle!! 

My Grandma had a lot of dogs over the years but the ones I can remember are Tinker, Tiny, Taco, Toby, ChiChi, Josie, Sassy and Tiffany and a cat name Kitty (My dad name Pepper)!! 

What I remember she worked at Gibbs Die Casting for years!! After she retired she went to Ameriquel and worked there about 4 years. She also worked at St. Mary’s which is now known as St. Vincent passing out food trays. Then she stayed at Walmart until she wasn’t able to work anymore. I believe she put in 7 years there! She had to stop working two years ago and that broke my grandma heart! 

Grandma didn’t know how to depend on other! She had always been such a hard worker that when she couldn’t work no longer she went into a deep depression and she didn’t know how to deal with life anymore since working was all she really knew! I believe this is when grandma health started getting worst!!

My grandma lived at Braun’s Nursing Home in Feb of 2018. There was days she was happy there and then there was some day she hated it!! But they had Bingo days there and she LOVED bingo!!! My grandma had a lot of health issues that had her in and out of the hospital constantly over the past year! 

The last 25 days she spent at St. Vincent! They did everything they could to meet all of my grandma wishes! When the time was near they made sure they followed out those wishes and made her comfortable as possible and I’m very thankful for the staff at St. Vincent!!
