Edna M. Schaeffer

Edna Mae Schaeffer, 86, of Quakertown, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at her home surrounded by family.

Born on December 1, 1938, in Quakertown, she was a daughter of the late David and Mae (Owens) Rotenberger.

A graduate—and valedictorian—of Quakertown High School’s Class of 1956, she went on to enter the workforce. Edna Mae enjoyed a career as an Office Manager for Todd Motors, Bracalente, and later retired from V & M Tool.

Outside of work, she found joy in crocheting, making porcelain dolls (including their clothing), and cooking. Above all, though, she loved being with her family—her home was a place where everyone was welcome and eager to be a part of.

With a Bible full of annotations and page markers, she held a deep faith and commitment to Jesus Christ.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her sister: Carol Rotenberger.

Edna Mae will be lovingly remembered by her husband of sixty-seven years: Richard W. Schaeffer; son: Richard A. Schaeffer (Patricia); daughter: Rochelle Lang (David); brothers: David Rotenberger, Jr. (Barbara) and Denny Rotenberger (Jody); grandchildren: Jacob, Tiana (Matt), Annika (James), Austyn, Trevor (Rachel), and Susie (Ken); great-grandchildren: Addalynn, Elena, Carter, Hannah, Maverick, Hailey, and Lucas; nieces and nephews; as well as the various extended family who fondly called her “Grandma E.”

A visitation will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 2:00pm until the time of the funeral service—in the funeral home—at 3:00pm.
