Dorothy was such a lovely person and very giving. My experience with Dorothy was through our Church and in particular the ACW which she supported over many years.
Dennis, Angela, Mike, Pam and Families, please accept our deepest condolences. Aunt Dorothy will always be remembered for her fun loving, caring ways. He was a very caring person who never hesitated to pick up the phone and give us a call. I know she definitely helped my boys when mom passed away. She is a very special person who will be dearly missed. I will cherish memories of her visits to the farm and at the family reunions. Hugs and love to all.
To the Schneider Family; We are so sorry that you have now lost your mom. Jim and Dorothy were a
wonderful couple to know as friends and we enjoyed knowing them for many years through work and
mutual interests. Please accept our condolences. Karen Sturdy and Mike Russelo
Angela and Family,

I am so sorry to read about Dorothys passing! I got to know Dorothy at Goderich Place where I volunteer. She was always the life of the party and I so enjoyed my chats and joking around with her! She will certainly be missed!
My thoughts go to family, Dorothy met all with a smile and words of cheer. My association with both Dorothy and Jim go back to the days of the Psychiatric Hospital were we shared both work and social gatherings. May she rest in peace.
I’m so sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing.
My condolences to all your family.
I miss running into Dorothy out and about and her telling us a funny story or joke each and every time.
She will be missed.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the Schneider family. One of my memories will be of visits with Jim and Dorothy at Auburn and District Lion functions.
I knew Dorothy through the Walkerburn Ladies Club. She was our go-to auctioneer for our in-club fundraising auctions. And what a performer! Lots of laughs and she inspired lots of bids! I know all the WLC ladies remember your high spirits, not to mention your cheese cake! Have fun in Heaven, Dorothy. You will liven them all up!
We are sorry to hear of Dorothy’s passing. We always enjoyed her humor at the Walkerburn Club meetings. You will have many fond memories to cherish. Vera, Lloyd & Kenneth Penfound

I was so sorry to hear about Dorothy’s passing. I loved spending time with both Jim and her during coffee at McDonalds.
She was so full of stories and made me laugh every time.
I saw her just before the Covid shut down at Goderich Place.
My condolences to her family

Our condolences to the Schneider family. We were fortunate to live down the hall from Dorothy at Goderich Place. We will miss Dorothy’s humour and good nature She always had a quick and witty response which made us smile. As her health deteriorated her sparring with words didn’t. We admired her courage as she faced the challenges of the past months. She is missed. Ralph and Eleanor Smith

Dennis, Angela, Michael and Pam, sorry to hear of your mom’s passing, she will be sincerely missed. She was a wonderful mother and a TERRIFIC child care provider for our children; they were disappointed when winter weather prevented them from having a “Dorothy Day.” Craig and Jillian very much enjoyed her and your Dad’s company. She will be remembered always in our hearts. Rosemary, Jack & Family.
Our sincere condolences to all of Dorothy’s family. We have fun memories of her from “all things Auburn”, including Lions Club, Horticulture, and chance meetings on the street. She always had a cheery, witty comment!
Bob and Shelley
To Dorothy’s children and grandchildren, my deepest sympathies for the loss of Dorothy, she was a lovely lady with whom I enjoyed many chats with over many years. Blessings to you all.
We were sorry to learn that Dorothy had passed away, and we extend our sincere condolences to all the Schneider & Hallam families. I always enjoyed my chats with Dorothy & Jim, and then quick hellos with Dorothy at Goderich Place when I visited my Mom the past (almost) 2 years. Dorothy always had a smile and some quick wit even when you could tell she wasn’t feeling great, and I admired her for that. Rest in peace Dorothy.
Angela and Family,
My condolences to you all during this time of great loss to your family. Thinking of you all.
Sending deepest sympathies to the entire Schneider family at this difficult time. Dorothy was always a bright shining light in Auburn. May your memories provide everlasting comfort! Alice & Ron McDowell

Dorothy and Jim were always happy outgoing people. We are sorry for your loss. Your memory of a wonderful loving Mother will always be with you.

Our condolences to everyone feeling her loss.
