Dorothy died on April 16, 1996 at the age of 83. She had suffered from Parkinsons.
She was very active socially during her married life. She and her husband Paul Schneider would frequent local restaurants where, quite often, Paul would play the piano. Al Baker's restaurant on Clayton Road was one of their favorites. Dorothy loved spending time with friends in her home and often played canasta, Mah Jong, or bridge.
At various times, Dorothy was active with volunteering. She was President of the Clayton Five Garden Club, was President of the Shaare Emeth Temple Sisterhood, and from 1975-1977 was the President of The Miriam Foundation.
Dorothy lived in St. Louis for 63 years but still kept her slight Memphis southern accent.

Eulogy in Memory of Dorothy Schneider

We come together today in sorrow, to honor the memory of our dear Dorothy. We are sad, for even though we had really lost her some time ago, we shall miss being with her. And now that this moment has come upon us, we realize how much we have lost…and feel our grief even more deeply.
We come with so many wonderful memories of her life. Dorothy was a lady, in the finest sense of that term. She was gracious, kind, with that wonderful smile and Memphis accent. She made each of us feel good when we were with her. Dorothy was an example of a type of graciousness that is often missing from our present day world. She was a very precious woman to her dear ones and her friends, and we shall miss her.
She loved her family with a great love. She had been a very devoted daughter, for many years—I remember how she cared for her mother with a special love. Paul, you and Dorothy were partners for 63 years. From the time you first met in Memphis, you were so in love. You were different types of personalities, but complemented each other so well. She knew that you adored her, and she loved you equally in return. You shared so many interests and allowed each other to be so active in the community. She even went with you to some very interesting places to hear your favorite piano players. She loved to sing along with you, throughout life. You were her strong support during these years of illness, upholding her in love even when she wasn't fully able to respond.
Bob and Nancy, you remember her as a very special and devoted mother. She was always concerned with your wellbeing. She wanted you to have only the best…and never stopped worrying about you. You, in turn, showed her such continual love. The special relationship that you and Steve have had was one of the great rewards of her life. She took pride in you, in your achievements, and in your love. Jill and David, you were more than grandchildren to her. You were her rewards. She loved being with you, hearing from you, sharing with you. Jill said of her, "she made growing up a lot easier." There was that special bond between grandma and grandchildren—and I know that you will always feel that this is an important aspect of your life. Dorothy was a very loving sister to you, her Joe, and a loving sister-in-law. She especially appreciated your kindnesses during her time of illness. All of her family shall miss her very much.
Dorothy had so many friends throughout life. We couldn't help but love her, for her sparkle and her innate sense of wisdom. She was a leader. She served as President of Miriam, to which she devoted so much time—as a founder of many of its projects. She was a superb president of our Shaare Emeth Sisterhood—and gave so many years of leadership to our congregation, which she loved so much. She supported many worthy causes. She loved beauty—not only creating wonderful needlepoint designs, but also founding and chairing the Clayton Garden Club. Her home reflects her wonderful taste. She made friends in so many different ways, from all different walks of life. She has been and shall be missed by so many.
We are sorry that these last years have been so difficult for her. She certainly did not deserve the terrible illnesses that overcame her. Robbed of so much of her memory and then physical strength, she still maintained that gracious kindness that was at the essence of her being. She fought to the end. Yet we know that death came to her not as an enemy, but as a friend. No one of us would have wanted to see her continue on in such a weakened state. Now she is at rest. Now we may remember her as she was for most of her years. May we remember her smile, her love, her joy. May we always be warmed by the memories that will keep her alive for us. May her rest be peace. Amen.
