Thursday, June 17, 2021, marks the 60th wedding anniversary for longtime Whitewater residents, Bruce & Ruby Schroeder.

Ruby Margaret Turner married Bruce Edward Schroeder on June 17, 1961, 7:30 p.m., at the First Baptist Church, in Dunkerton, IA. Over their five-plus decades living in Whitewater, they have been members of the First United Methodist Church.

Bruce met Ruby while both were teaching in Garwin, IA, in 1958. They have 2 children, Mark (Beth) & Lyn (Ken Koopman). They are grandparents of Ryan (Cathy) and Daniel and have three great-grandchildren, Emma, William, and Kyla. During their 60 years of marriage, they have taken many trips across the USA, visiting a high percentage of the National Parks, and beyond the borders to many tourist destinations around the globe. Today they are content to watch the sights and sounds of Whitewater from their front porch and take an occasional car tour of where they have worked at, i.e. Lakeview & Lincoln for Ruby and UW-W for Bruce, along with other familiar places in and around Whitewater that they have enjoyed together over the years.

Congratulations to Bruce & Ruby on their 60th wedding anniversary!!!
