Caren Tracey Schaeffer-Stringer, born May 7, 1963, wife of Norman Terry Stringer, tragically passed away on March 1, 2020. She was the daughter of Barbara and the late Carey Schaeffer Sr. Born in Pottsville, PA, she was a 1985 graduate of Penn State and, upon graduation, began her career as a Sign Language Interpreter, specializing in legal and medical interpreting, and became a leading educator in the field.
For the last 35 years, Caren made her home in Sacramento, CA and Houston, TX where she was actively involved in both communities professionally and personally. A very dedicated and loving mother of twin boys, she was heavily involved in their school and community projects. As a baseball mom, she carried more equipment than a professional photographer just in hopes that something would happen, which it often did.
She enjoyed creating beautiful stain glass pieces with her husband, and more recently making jewelry. Known for her quick wit and infectious sense of humor, it was impossible to meet her and not become best of friends. She will be missed.
Aside from leaving behind her husband and mother, she leaves twin sons Christian and Nicholas, a step-daughter Sheree, brother Chuck, aunt Mabel, uncle Edward and was predeceased by an older sister Carla.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Make-A-Wish Foundation.
