Mary Lou Schneider

April 27, 1924 - December 2, 2020

Mary Lou Schneider of Traverse City, passed away peacefully at home December 2, 2020. Mary Lou was born April 27,1924 in Petoskey, Michigan to Mabelle and Harry O. Larson. She grew up in Grand Rapids, moved to Petoskey at age 14 and graduated from Petoskey High School. Mary Lou graduated from Central Michigan University with a BS in Home Economics Education. She taught school in Petoskey, later teaching in Chelsea, Michigan where she met her husband, Paul W. Schneider. They were married in 1949 and moved to Traverse City where they raised 4 children. Many fond memories were created with their close neighbors and family on Boughey Hill. Mary Lou was the most caring and loving mother and gramma a child could ever wish for. One of her greatest joys was providing family meals for everyone to enjoy! Mary Lou is survived by her children, Sue (Steve) Lerner of Los Angeles, Janeen (Gregg) Lawley of McCall, Idaho, Marley Niewendorp of East Jordan, Paul (Shaun) Schneider of Traverse City; her 6 grandchildren, 6 (soon to be 7) great grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews. Mary Lou was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Paul, her brother Harry T. Larson and sister Marjorie Brunet. A celebration of life honoring Mary Lou will take place at a later date when it is safer to gather. Mary Lou may be remembered through memorial contributions in her name to Central United Methodist Church, 222 Cass St, Traverse City, MI 49684.
