Cheryl was born September 9, 1948, in Ripon, WI, to Gordon and Wilma (Tavs) Zimdars. She graduated from Ripon High School and earned her master’s degree in Library Science from UW Oshkosh. Cheryl met her husband of 31 years, Robert L. Schrader just as he got his orders from the United States Air Force to ship out to England in 1985. They had gone on a blind date and then corresponded by writing back and forth to each other. Cheryl went to visit him and when she came back they were engaged. After serving two years in England, Bob decided he wanted to retire and come home to marry Cheryl. They were married soon after on December 26, 1987.

Cheryl worked in Peshtigo teaching English for a year before taking a position with Adams-Friendship School District where she was a Librarian for over 30 years.
