Doris “Dorie” Mae Schneider
Doris “Dorie” Mae Schneider, passed away peacefully on March 6, 2023, with family at her side.
She was born February 10, 1938, the oldest child of George and Irene Lechner, in Kekoskee. She was baptized into faith on February 27, 1938, and her strong and consistent faith throughout her life was an inspiration to many.
On December 7, 1968, she married Leon Schneider, and together they raised four children.
During her life, Dorie worked at Fox Valley Savings, for the hot lunch program at Winnebago Lutheran Academy and Action Printing, but her family and her church were her greatest priorities. For many years she taught little ones the love of their Savior in Sunday School at St. Peter’s, Kekoskee, and Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Fond du Lac. Dorie was an active member of Redeemer Lutheran Church, Fond du Lac, and served in the Ladies Society for many years. She also enjoyed studying God’s Word with her friends in Bible Class at Faith Lutheran Church. Dorie loved keeping up with her grandchildren through photos they would send her and looked through them daily.
Dorie is survived by her four children, Cheryl (Daniel) Harding of New Richmond, Terry (Vicki) Schneider of Oshkosh, Sara (Kevin) Krueger of Kekoskee, and Steven (Sara) Schneider of Ripon; eleven grandchildren, Jessica (Ryan) Rondeau, Brenna (Wes) Joachim, Alyssa (Jared) McDonald, Lindsy and Matthew Schneider, Kavanaugh (Alyssa) Krueger, Hunter and Grant Schneider, Grace (Sam) Engle, and Reagan and Eli (Deborah Nieves) Kropp; and six great-grandchildren, Kayla and Jenna Rondeau, Sawyer and Kennedy Joachim, and Ezra and Amos Engle. She is further survived by her brother Lloyd (Lola) Lechner of Kekoskee, and nieces, nephews, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her husband Leon, and her parents.
Funeral services were held on Monday, March 13, at Redeemer Lutheran Church, with Rev. James Borgwardt officiating. Burial at Kekoskee Cemetery.
