Marion Kerr Schneider
July 4, 1941 — February 16, 2020
Marion Kerr Schneider, born on July 4, 1941, in Hartford, CT died on
February 16, 2020, in Boynton Beach, Florida at 78 years old. Marion grew
up in Manchester, where she met and married her high school sweetheart,
Frederick Dey Schneider. Together, they had four children and shared 58
years of marriage. What people will remember most is how selflessly she
would give of her time and talents. She was always ready to pitch in and
ease the burdens of others. Marion had various jobs throughout her life
including her 5 years as the accountant at Schneider’s Service Station and
although she took great pride in any job she had, she treasured her roles as
mother and grandmother most of all. She loved dogs and surprised the
family with a new dog more than once during her life. She was predeceased
by her most beloved dog, Susie in 2018. Marion was kind and
compassionate and always willing to help others. She loved crafting and
was especially proud to be a part of the sewing circle at Son Life Lutheran
Church in Florida.
Besides her husband, Marion is survived by her daughter Susan Schneider
Vartanian, and her husband Gregory of Vernon, her son David Schneider and
his wife Michelle of Colchester, her son, Rick Schneider and his wife Kathy of
East Hartford, and her 5 grandchildren, Gwendolyn Cheong and her husband
Johnston, Amanda Schneider, Matthew Schneider, Lily Vartanian, and Abigail
Vartanian. She is survived by her brother William “Donny” Kerr of
Manchester, her sister-in-law Sylvia Hellstrom, her brother-in-law Jonathan
Schneider and many nieces and nephews. Marion is predeceased by her
parents David and Mae Kerr, and her infant son Frederick D Schneider, Jr.
She made lasting friendships wherever she went and had many wonderful
friends with whom she remained close throughout her life.
There will be two services to celebrate Marion’s life. The first will be held at
Son Life Lutheran Church, 9301 Jog Rd, Boynton Beach, FL on Friday,
February 28 at 11 a.m. The second will be held in Manchester, CT at a later
date. One of Marion’s greatest adventures was to China for the adoption of
her granddaughter, Lily. As Lily is now fighting to overcome a tragic car
accident that occurred on February 8 and has left her in critical condition, we
ask that in lieu of flowers, a donation is made to a GoFundMe account to
support Lily and her family during this time.
