Judith Ann Schneider

Judith Schneider (Dostal) Judith Ann Schneider "Judy", age 81, passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 20, 2026 at her residence in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Judy was born January 6, 1945, in Grand Forks, North Dakota and spent her childhood in Manvel, North Dakota, the fourth of six daughters in a successful farming family. She graduated from Grand Fork Central High School in 1962, married her lifelong partner (Donald Schneider) and started raising a family. Judy spent the early years of her married life as an Air Force spouse and homemaker, moving from Grand Forks to California and Colorado before settling in East Grand Forks while her children attended high school and college in the area. While living in East Grand Forks, Judy developed a passion for refurbishing old houses and furniture, and collecting antique depression glass and dolls. In the 1990's, Judy and Don purchased an 1890's home in Starbuck, Minnesota. Doing most of the remodeling work themselves, they opened and operated a bed and breakfast for several years where Judy put on display her amazing cooking skills and showcased her collection of antique furniture, depressions glass and dolls. After retirement, Judy enjoyed traveling, taking cruises and watching her grandson play baseball. Most recently, Judy made her home at Amira Choice in Minnetonka, where the wonderful staff cared for her as her Alzheimer's Disease progressed. Her family is very grateful to the staff of Amira Choice and Grace Hospice who cared for her with patience, kindness and compassion. Judy was preceded in death by beloved husband, Donald Schneider; her sisters, Esther Kuebler, Gail Garner and Cheryl Petek; and her parents, Margaret and Stephen Dostal. She is survived by sisters, Karen Devlin and Luane Hellen; sons, Rob and Lloyd Schneider; daughter-in-law Stacy Roberts-Schneider; grandson Griffin Schneider; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. A celebration of Judy's life will be held from 1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M. on Sunday, May 17th at The Hopkins VFW, 100 Shady Oak Road, Hopkins. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to The Alzheimer's Association or The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Judy will be interred along side Don at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. A private burial will be held for immediate family on Monday, May 4th. www.Washburn-McReavy.com Strobeck-Johnson 952-938-9020
