Thomas B Schneider's Obituary
Thomas B. Schneider, 81, passed away on March 8, 2025. Born on March 2, 1944, to the late Bernerd and Nadine Schneider, Thomas lived a life full of love, service, and dedication.
He is survived by his children, Lisa (Michael) Brown, Cara (Peter) Zeller, and Gina (Pete) Mandrake; his grandchildren, Emily (Jennifer), Aaron (Chloe), Henry, Jacob, Sylvia, Charlie, and Claudia; and his siblings, Bill Schneider and Jean Eddy. He was preceded in death by his loving wife of 51 years, Marie.
Thomas honorably served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. Following his service, he worked as an electrician for NASA, where he dedicated many years of his career.
A family-oriented man, Thomas was always there to lend a helping hand to his children. His skills as a builder were evident when he helped rebuild a section of their family home. Thomas also had a green thumb and took great pride in his fruit and vegetable garden, growing raspberries, peach trees, and blueberries, which he generously shared with his family.
