Bettie Jean was born on Aug. 8, 1941, in Dime Box, Texas, to Joe Frank Becvar and Alberta (Blaha) Becvar.
She married Milton Joe Schroeder Sr., on June 24, 1961, at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Frenstat.
She loved sewing and grew up on the farm running and baling hay.
She was a very hard-working lady.
Bettie Jean was well respected at her job at Bryan High School in the Food Service Department, and when her “Baking Day” came around, all the teachers and kids would flock to buy her rolls and cookies.
Dancing, polka music, and old country and western music were her among her favorites.
She loved the holidays. She would always take over all of the holiday cooking and wouldn’t let anyone help her.
She worked hard all her life and never complained a single bit, family members said.
She will be very missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Milton Joe Schroeder Sr.; her brother, Albert Becvar; and her daughter-in-law, Michelle Schroeder.
Bettie Jean is survived by her sons, Milton J. Schroeder Jr. and wife, Donna, of Caldwell, James A. Schroeder of Bryan, Anthony “Tony” Schroeder of Caldwell, and Patrick Schroeder and wife, Brenda, of Caldwell; and her grandchildren, Tyler Wayne Schroeder and Abigail “Abby” Schroeder.
