Bettie was born March 24, 1915, at Butte, Neb., a daughter of
Elizabeth Amanda Sidles and George Augustus Swallow. She
was raised by her sister Mabel in Iowa, after her mother's
death.
She married Roy J. Schneider on
July 26, 1933, at Shenandoah, Iowa. The couple lived
there until 1937, when they moved to Pico Rivera, Calif.
They moved to Idaho in 1954 and lived in the Pleasant Ridge
area of Caldwell for many years. Bettie was manager of
the Sears catalog department in Caldwell for several years
until she retired. They moved to the Canyon Hill area of
Caldwell alter Roy retired from the railroad.
Roy and Bettie dearly loved hunting and fishing in Idaho,
especially when the children and grandchildren could join
them. They had a large and loving family who miss them
dearly. Roy died Feb, 7, 1977, leaving a big void in the
family. Bettie never stopped grieving for him. She
will be so happy to be reunited with him.
She leaves behind six children, James and his wife, Carol
Schneider of Weiser, Doug Schneider of Caldwell, Bruce and his
wife, Wendy Schneider of Sacramento. Calif., and John and his
wife, Janelle Schneider of New Plymouth, Kay and her husband,
Hugh Brown of Nampa, and Sally and her husband, Dan Book of
Council; a sister, Mabel Gearhart in Nebraska; 15
grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; special friends,
Goldie Anderson, and Norman and Mae Good. She was
preceded in death by her husband, one grandson, one
granddaughter, two brothers and two sisters.
The family would like to thank the staff of Columbia West
Valley Medical Center for their kindness and compassion.
Also, we would like to thank the wonderful staff of Karcher
Estates where Mom spent the last few months. She was
happier there than at any time since Roy's death.
The family suggests that memorials be given either to the
American Diabetes Association, 1528 Vista Ave., Boise 83709;
or to the March of Dimes, Idaho Chapter, 830 La Cassia Drive,
Boise 83705. |
