Karlene K. Trump

Karlene K. Trump (nee Schroeder) left her earthly home to enter her heavenly one April 25, 2020. She was born May 25, 1940, to Adolph and Gertrude Schroeder of Metz. 

After graduating from Rogers City High School in 1957, she graduated from Henry Ford School of Nursing in 1960, as a registered nurse. 

After her graduation, she was a youth camp nurse in Massachusetts, and then worked for Oakwood, Henry Ford, Art Centre Osteopathic (where she helped set up a six-bed coronary care unit), a psychiatric center in New Baltimore, and finally retired from Bon Secours. 

Her travels took her to Mexico, South America, where she saw Mayan and Incan ruins, Egypt, where she viewed the Sphynx, and numerous countries and sights throughout Europe. 

Her involvement with the Alger Theat

re had her doing street fairs, benefit dinners, concerts, and blues and jazz events. 

Karlene’s survivors include her sisters, Diane Birach and Corinne Fraley; nieces and nephews; great-nieces and nephews; great-great-nieces and nephew; and many cousins. 

Also surviving are here furry companions and loves of her life, Jake and Mica. Special friends that saw her through this ordeal include Vicki, Brenda, Yucel, Helen, Ruth, Robert and special helper Paula.
