August 23, 1921 — May 15, 2013

BEDFORD -- Mary Jeannette Schneider passed away Wednesday, May 15, 2013.

Memorial service: 3 p.m. Saturday at Lucas Funeral Home, 1321 Precinct Line Road, Hurst. Graveside service will be in Cape Girardeau, Mo., where interment will be beside her husband in the family plot. They planned on a long life together and will be together again soon.

Memorials: At her request, the family asks that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Norman F. Schneider Sr. Memorial Fund at Peace Lutheran Church, 941 W. Bedford Euless Road, Hurst, Texas 76053. The fund provides financial assistance for men in training for ministerial work in the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.

She was born Aug. 23, 1921, in St. Louis, Mo., and was raised there by her parents, Eugene and Dagny Craddock. She has one younger sister, Dorothy Meldahl of Shorewood, Minn., and was raised with a cousin, Swannie Carlson of Corvallis, Ore., who was like a sister to her.

While attending Southeast Missouri State College in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Jeannette met her future husband, Norman F. Schneider. They were married in St. Louis on Nov. 14, 1942, and had celebrated 62 years together at his death in April 2005.

Jeannette and Norman moved to Bedford in 1983 after his retirement from Phillips Petroleum in Stavanger, Norway, and were longtime members of Peace Lutheran Church in Hurst, where she proudly served in the Altar Guild. She was a resident of Parkwood Healthcare in Bedford at the time of her death. She had a life lived well.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Parkwood for caring for her. We especially thank all her friends who came to see and ministered to her with their friendship these past four years.

Survivors: Sons, Norman Jr. "Rick" of Garland, Karl (Terice) of Temple, Glenn (Debra) of Fort Worth and Mark of Stillwater, Okla. She was also the proud "Nana" of four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
