Obituary for Linda Schneider

Linda Schneider of Reeds Spring, Missouri, passed away on Monday, December 14, 2020 at the age of 79.

She was born on June 21, 1941, the 3 ^rd daughter of Clarence & June Hamann.  Her siblings include Elaine, Marlene, Cary, Dave (deceased), Greg, Shirley & Brent.  Her love of farming came from her parents.  Linda met Gordon Schneider, her Sweetheart from Grant Park, and fell in love.  They were married on June 18, 1960 and is survived by her husband of 60 years of marriage.

Linda and Gordon were avid Farmers in the Grant Park area and she worked side-by-side with her husband/son planting, harvesting, driving semi & raising a family.  Together they built a life they loved.  Her devotion to her family & her Faith were like no other.  She always had a kind heart to so many people & always made them feel special.  She was famous for her apple pie & cinnamon rolls from pie dough and crème puffs, upon request from Gordon.  She was an active member of St Peter's United Church of Christ in Grant Park, being president of church council,   a Sunday School teacher for many years, and sang in the choir.  She had a piano at home to practice for Sunday's service & where her family grew to love music at home during the week.

Linda is survived by her five children: Cyndy (Chuck) Barrie, Mark and Connie Schneider, Scott and Shari Schneider, Vicki (Al) Kuhn, and Jon and Angel Schneider as well as her grandchildren: Karl, Jason (Meghan), Laura (Tim), Sarah (Jon), Brad, Erik, Andrea, Nathan, Tucker, Tanner, and Lincoln.  Grandma's love of the Kansas City Chiefs was shared by many of her grandchildren.

Retirement brought Linda and Gordon to Sebastian, Florida where they could enjoy the sunshine, bicycling and fishing that was long overdue.  From there, they moved to Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri, where Linda could be closer to her kids and grandkids..  There they continued to work side-by-side on projects with their home which included gardening, landscaping and painting.  Their leisure time was spent on their pontoon boat, feeding the birds and sitting on their swing enjoying the sun over the lake.

A Private Celebration of Linda's life will be held with her immediate family in Missouri.
