SCHNEYDER, Elizabeth “Liz” SCHNEYDER Mom, ELIZABETH “LIZ” SCHNEYDER, beloved wife of the late Johnny Schneyder, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by her family on June 13, 2025 at the age of 89 years.
Mom was born in Czechoslovakia, August 19, 1935. At nine months old she came to Canada with her family to start a new life on a ranch in Mountain View, Alberta. Living on the ranch meant there was lots to do and she developed her hard work ethic working alongside her mom and brother. She attended school in Mountain View and graduated from Grade 12.
At a Hungarian dance in Lethbridge, mom met the love of her life and they were married September 16, 1954. Together they farmed north of Magrath and raised three children. Mom and dad bonspieled, traveled, entertained, and hosted many family occasions at the farm. They especially loved to dance and hold hands while on walks together.
Mom was an amazing cook and she loved trying out new recipes and sharing them with family and friends. After retiring she spent countless hours in her garden and flowerbeds. Her yard was her pride and joy, along with her family. We sure are going to miss her.
Mom was predeceased by her husband Johnny Schneyder, grandson Taylor Zanoni, and her son-in-law Stanley (Butch) Martens.
She is survived by her children Cathy Martens, Johnny (Karen) Schneyder, and Debbie (Gerry) Zanoni; her grandchildren Trevor (Charmaine) Martens, Todd (Jean) Martens, Giovanna Zanoni, Justeena Zanoni; as well as her great-grandchildren Ainsley Martens, Addison Martens, and Taylor Zanoni.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION CATHOLIC CHURCH – 2405 12 Avenue South, Lethbridge, AB on Friday, July 11, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. with Father Paolo Cervantes celebrating.
