Colette Schaefer (born Berget), of Croton-on- Hudson passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 surrounded by her loving family. She was born on May 3, 1922 in Erstein, France. She was 101 years of age.
Colette was, in a word……remarkable! Our mother lived a remarkably long life, highlighted by boundless enthusiasm and passion. Over 80 years ago she fled France for Montreal, Canada narrowly escaping the rapidly approaching Nazi forces while bridges were literally being blown up right after she had passed over them. She was one of the bravest, smartest and most beautiful women any of us had ever had the honor to know and love. She was in many ways a woman ahead of her times, starting her own lighter company in the early 1950’s, when few women ever thought of running their own company…she was fearless!
