SPRINGFIELD -- Genevieve (Bebe) Schroeder passed away, Monday, Aug. 25, 2008 at the Springfield Health and Rehabilitation Center, with her family at her side, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Born on March 24, 1938 in Charlestown, Bebe was the daughter of Ralph (Chippy) and Nina (Wilson) Bashaw.
Survivors include her daughter, Rhondalee Adkins of Nashville, Tenn.; her son, Rod Schroeder of Charlestown; her daughter, Rianna Villemaire of Charlestown; her daughter Roxanne Schroeder-Arce of Newtonville, Mass.; by her brother, Carroll Bashaw of Charlestown, and several cherished nieces, nephews and cousins.
Bebe was predeceased by her mother in 1958, her father in 1966, her sister, Eunice Blake in 1980, her brother, Wayne (Sonny) Bashaw in 1995, and her brother Raymie Bashaw in 2003.

*
She grew up in Charlestown and lived most of her adult life in Springfield.
Bebe was a true lover of country and western music and entertaining people. She sang with a genuine, unvarnished voice; straight from her heart. She also played the guitar and bass.
Bebe was a member of many bands in the area during her lifetime and was known to pick up a flat-top guitar just about anywhere and sing and play until her fingers bled.
She also enjoyed bingo, casinos, yard sales and most of all spending time with her family, always giving her children encouragement and unconditional love.
Bebe held several occupations throughout her lifetime, but her true calling was caring for the elderly. She most recently worked for the Council on Aging as a Senior Companion.
Other survivors include Rhondalee's husband Cowboy of Nashville, Tenn.; Rod's wife Robin of Charlestown; Rianna's husband Herb of Charlestown; Roxanne's husband, Carlos of Newtonville, Mass.; her youngest "child" Spanky, the blue-eyed beagle of Springfield; her more like a sister than a sister-in-law, Janet Bashaw of Springfield; and two young granddaughters, Genevieve Schroeder-Arce and Maya Villemaire, who meant the world to her. Bebe's wit and giving spirit will forever live in the hearts of all who knew her.
