VALETA
Valeta Schneider, 94, passed away peacefully at Providence Point, surrounded by the love of family and friends who cherished her warmth, humor, and kindness on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
Born and raised in Texas, Valeta was a proud Texan through and through. It was in Dallas that she met the love of her life, Bill Schneider, who was serving in the U.S. Air Force. Together they built a beautiful life centered on love, laughter, and family. Bill preceded her in death in 2013, and they are now joyfully reunited.
Valeta's intelligence and determination shone early - she graduated as valedictorian of her high school class - and her sharp mind remained vibrant throughout her life. Yet it was her heart that truly defined her. She had a way of making everyone around her feel valued, loved, and at ease. Her Southern drawl, quick wit, and gentle nature became part of what made her so unforgettable.
At Providence Point, Valeta's compassion and sense of humor brightened the lives of residents and staff alike. She was a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan and cheered them on with true Texas pride, no matter the season's outcome.
Beloved wife of 59 years to the late William J. Schneider. Valeta is survived by her loving children, Lynda Schneider (Len Zon), Bill (Beth) Schneider, Lisa Schneider (Jeff Finfrock), and Lori Schneider (Ron Jones); cherished Gram of Becky, Tyler, Jake, Josh, Justin, Brittany, Travis, Maya and Lila; proud Great-Gram of Cameron, Jace, Dane, Reese, Jack, Brooks, Brody and Sloane. Her family takes comfort in knowing her legacy lives on through the love and laughter she shared with each of them.
She lived with love, laughed with grace, and left the world brighter than she found.
