Lori was born Lori Ann Brady on March 16, 1963, daughter of Paul Ellis Brady and Constance (Connie) Ann Anderson in Maquoketa IA. Lori graduated in 1981 from Central City High School, Central City IA, where she participated in basketball, softball and marching band. She went on to a multifaceted career in cosmetology, financial services, employment staffing services and social work. Lori’s most fulfilling career was the impact she had supporting the homeless as part of Salvation Army’s Grace Place Shelter in Somerset and New Richmond WI.
Lori married Greg Scheder on February 23, 1991 in St Paul MN, and shortly thereafter they moved to Somerset WI where they remained until her passing. Lori loved simple things. Cooking and Packer parties were her passions, while she also enjoyed spending time at the family cabin, camping, fishing and watching reruns of The Waltons and Little House on the Prairie, as well as the constant herd of dogs the family owned over the years.
Lori is survived by her mother Connie Anderson, husband Gregory (Greg) Scheder, children Carole Rivard (husband Matt, grandsons Holden & Hollis), William (Will) Scheder, Kaitlin (Katie) Scheder, brother Maurice (Maury) Anderson (wife Bridget and son Noah), step sisters Phyllis Kline (husband Kirk), Cheryl Westphal, Debbie Wessels (husband Joe) and Kim Jacobusse McClanahan (husband Gary), and half siblings Paula Walsh (husband Shawn), and Paul Brady (wife Ami).

Fondest memories are from the high school days. Lori and I were involved in basketball, softball and band. A lot of good times were had. It was also great Lori’s house was a block from school. It was a great safe place to hang out. Thanks Merle and Connie. Can’t forget Merle’s Chevy Luv truck and trips to see Aunt Brenda, the Grandparents & dances at Prairieburg. Many good times! Then it was time to be adults & Lori met Greg- her life partner. Fondest memories will live forever in my heart. Until we meet again. Condolences to the entire family. Stephanie Silver & the Class of 1981.
Although I only saw Lori at larger family gatherings I recall her being a kind person. I know she will be missed by Greg, her children and other family members. Rest in peace !
My friendship with Lori began when we were in Junior High. Lori was the new kid on the block and I was the girl next door (actually a few houses down the street). My mom said I should introduce myself to the new girl in the neighborhood. Our friendship went beyond our school days. Distance kept us apart but our friendship was forever in our hearts. We had a lot of good times and made great memories, Rest in peace my friend. Forever in my heart,

Our thoughts and prayers are with Greg and his family, Connie and Maury.
