Obituary
Lyda Schneider was born August 26, 1917, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, to the late John and Katherine (Hilderman) Steinmark. She passed away Sunday, August 29, 2010, in the Asbury Park Care Facility in Newton, KS.
She graduated from Minatore High School in Minatore. NE.
On May 25, 1949, Lyda was united in marriage to John Schneider in Scottsbluff, NE. Together they farmed north of Trego Center until they retired in 1995 and moved to WaKeeney. John passed away January 21, 2002.
Lyda was a member of the Zion Lutheran Church and very active in the Women's Church organizations and the county HDU program. For many years, Lyda taught Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. She enjoyed cooking, baking pies and cinnamon rolls that were tied into knots, not rolled. In earlier years, she enjoyed sewing, making many of her own and her daughter's clothing, and making sure Nancy's had ruffles. She always attended her children's programs and activities, especially track meets. Lyda loved to garden and thrived on creating her flower gardens every spring.
Among those who celebrate her life are son, John David and wife, Anita Schneider, WaKeeney; daughter, Nancy and husband, Gary Law, Newton; five grandsons: Jason and wife, Chris, their children, Clayton and Dustin Schneider, Schoenchen; D. J. and wife, Kristin, their children, Parker and Ryan Law, Centennial, CO; Karl and wife, Krista, their children, Lucy and Peter Law, Seattle, WA; Jeremy and wife, Krista, their children, Shea Harper and Allison Schneider, Ellis; Joshua and wife, Kay Schneider, Overland Park. Additional survivors are three sisters, Elsa Lundgren, Scottsbluff, NE, Frieda Dietz, Hayward, CA, Dorothy Reichert, Othello, WA; and sister-in-law, Helen Steinmark, Scottsbluff, NE.
Those preceding her in death were her husband, John; seven brothers, Dave, Reuben, Melvin, Robert, Norman, Henry and an infant Henry Steinmark; and three sisters, Mary Klein, Esther Willman, and a deceased infant, Marie Steinmark.
Visitation for Lyda will be 6-8 PM on Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at Schmitt Funeral Home in WaKeeney, KS. Services will be Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 11:00 AM in Zion Lutheran Church at Trego Center, KS with burial in the Zion Lutheran Cemetery.
